The essence of the mandala: a symbolic representation of the universe. With its roots in Sanskrit, mandala translates to “circle,” used to aid meditation in Hinduism and Buddhism and has been a common theme in my work for decades.
In my work, this simple form has held me captive and has provided me an object on which I could reflect upon. This piece is imbued with intentions of inclusivity, support and harmony and has provided me respite from my own internal chaos and that of the greater universe. The focus on this meticulous process and the fragility in both life and nature clears the path for an exquisite release of built up emotion.
