Artist Statement May 8: Magenta Swirl


Magenta Spiral

      Delicate flowers spin out from the mandala center.  Creating a circle of unity they tap into the subconscious and evoke a unique experience for each viewer weaving stories of oneness leading back to the center. The ephemeral releases beauty back to its origin.
      This mandala borrows ideas from Portia Munson's floral mandala photographs and Andy Goldsworthy's ephemeral outdoor exhibits.  The original intent was to build a flat mandala but materials did not cooperate so the work took on a more three dimensional form.
      All of the items in this piece are natural.  After class this display of nature's wonder will be dropped into the Boise River to return to its origin.
