Catalogue Note
"Ju Ming believes that taichi is steeped in mystery and is symbolic of Chinese cultural life and its ancient history. The movement, stillness, gestures and motion of the feet in taichi are all related to life experience, culture and a return to the human body. Ju Ming's Taichi sculptures, whether they are made from wood or bronze or are large or small, are all filled with an awesome vitality." [1]
