This series continued my exploration of the Golden Rectangle that started with the Golden Rectangle Coils Series, and represented a centering and healing period in my life. A mandala is a circular or symmetrical geometric meditation object. Mandalas usually represent a centering or integration of multiple energies or influences.
In this collage series, I use the form of four overlapping Golden Rectangles that share a central square to create the mandala. The cruciform mandala arms have aspect ratios of 1:(1+2Φ) or 1 to 2.236 (the square-root of 5), and are similar to the overlapping Golden Rectangles in the square-root of 5 series. Surrounding the central square are overlapping rectangles with aspect ratio of 1:(3+Φ) or 1 to 3.618. Click on the sacred geometry link for more detailed information.
These mandalas are embellished with gold layout tape and unique matting that continues the geometric theme around the collage. The work is framed behind glass in 18" x 18" Nielsen metal frames. Prints are also available.
