mandala

" It is only the images by which we live that bring transformation."

The following mandalas were selected from about 100 that I made in 2002, over the course of 6 months. With these mandalas, I discovered that in order to whole, I had to integrate the images of the unconscious into my personality. The practice of drawing the mandala opened my eyes to the importance of inner images. And not simply to include them; I had to reflect on them and make meaning from them. I discovered that meaning is in the making. I consider these mandalas my first ritual.
