The Wayan Rendah Artisan Collection is brought to you by Ivy Bronx in Association with National Geographic. This beautiful piece was handcrafted by Wayan Rendah in Indonesia. An artisan story card will be included with your purchase. Portrayed in the asanas yoga movement, this seated yogi is the creation of master woodcarver Wayan Rendah. Yoga is a disciplined practice offering mental and physical health for the body's hormonal balance. Extolling the virtues of yoga, Rendah sculpts this yogi in suar wood, achieving exquisite detail and a lovely finish. ; About the Artist: Wayan Rendah; Wayan Rendah's father began teaching him to sculpt when he was a boy. ''Balinese woodcarving touches me very deeply. I have learned a variety of arts in Bali, such as gamelan dance, but carving a piece of wood gives me an incomparable sensation,'' he says. ''After I finished school, I studied further because I needed more experience, and the tools and material I needed were beyond my financial reach. Exploring the abstract world refreshes my mind in creating new carvings.''
