MANDALAS
The word "mandala" in Sanskrit means circle, and it symbolizes the universe. In art, a mandala is a complex circular design, intended to draw the eye to its center.
SHRINES
A shrine is a spiritual object which exudes energy and creates a calm, sacred, space. As a place of rest and quiet, a shrine invites expressions of gratitude, or requests for guidance.
MATERIALS
The mandalas and shrines which I make are "mixed media" with a wabi sabi (rustic) feeling about them -- often including items from flea markets, or materials found in nature.
They range in size from about 12 to 18 inches (30 to 45cm.) in diameter.
