Mandalas

Created specifically from the experience of travel and the visual collecting that I did while encountering a new place, a new culture. A mandala is viewed as a plan, chart or geometric pattern that represents the universe metaphysically or symbolically; it is intended to be a meditative manifestation of a microcosm of the cosmos. These works loosely follow the pattern of a Mandala by the nature of the way the images are repeated and conceptually include a microcosm of small Universes ultimately invoking a narrative. These extremely limited edition prints were screen printed by myself at the Frans Masereel Graphics Center in Kasterlee, Belgium.
