Entropic Mandalas
An exploration of the creative process as a form of meditation or distraction.
Focus and loss of focus.
I began this mandala series in 2017. Over my career, I have moved back and forth between stark, muted palettes to overlapping patterns and bright colors.
The symmetry comes (I think) from the craziness in the world right now. But, even though order is desired, each composition is not truly balanced, and there are intentional and unintentional (fully embraced) flaws.
Each print is composed from photos taken in different life settings. Most of the photos were taken on my iPhone. The series is titled “Entropic Mandalas” because the images are simultaneously building up and breaking down. These mandalas are both meditative and disruptive.
