Exploring Mandala creation using nature photographs is my attempt to understand and interpret
the patterns and structure in the natural world. I believe there is a fundamental mathematical structure and consistency that exists in the universe.
These patterns are often obscured by a kind of organized chaos. I am intrigued by the challenge of revealing these inherent universal patterns. I have found the Mandala expression is a good vehicle for this exploration.
Since the work is semi-abstract, instinct and curiosity drives the viewer to attempt to organize the patterns and distill the abstract shapes into representational forms. The meditative quality of the Mandala is discovered during this analysis.
