Sinopse
Características

Mandalas are objects of meditation and contemplation. Psychoanalyst Carl Jung drew and painted mandalas and had his patients do the same. Almost all spiritual traditions of the world have mandalas in one form or another: Navajo sand paintings, the design of the Catholic churches, Indian tankas; the list is a long one. I start my mandalas without a plan. I make a simple shape in the center and work out to the edges, often turning the paper as I go. I do not use an eraser or any mechanical devices like compasses or French curves to make them symmetrical. My mandalas “grow” from the center outward and are more cellular than geometric. They are wobbly, intricate, and lopsided, similar to the annual concentric rings inside a tree trunk—a pattern but not a symmetrical one. This way my mandalas breathe and grow in a way that mandalas mechanically drawn do not. I want to share these mandalas with people who love to make things come alive with color. My hope is that my drawings, with their wobbly, and imperfect forms, will be entertaining, not irritating. Just as they surprise me as I create them, I hope they will hold surprises for those who gift them color.
