^ Laying Bricks to Back Bend ^

I felt that everything is beautiful, 
but that which man tries intentionally to make beautiful; 
that the work of an ordinary bricklayer is more valid than the artwork of all but a very few artists.

Back bends can be hard…I used to really avoid them.  I couldn’t understand how people could love them and do them with out having insane lower back pain afterward.  Now I love them.  Because I do them from the legs, from the bottom up.  One brick at a time, build the pose from the bottom up and you will make something  > > > 
Simple, Strong and Beautiful…just like Ellsworth Kelly
