Mandala photography
Experimental kaleidoscope photography and video art. Since 2016
Photography is an important part of exploring the most mesmerizing symmetry and composition in this project. In the case of video, shimmering movement add another dimension.
Inspiration from Technology
This is the very first mandala image that inspired the whole project. It was made by photographing a hairbrush with a koleidescope filter. The brush had black tines tipped with pink plastic, on a pad of charcoal rubber. The resulting photo looked like the tines could be embroidery stitches and pink seedbeads on a grey fabric. The pink of the brush handle is the central swirl.

Photographing work in progress and yes LED ring lights do make very good plant grow lights when strong enough.
