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.

How do you create?
Yes, #inspiration , but what processes do you use to create?
Where do you focus your attention - and what must you let go?
Do you embrace fear or comfort yourself?
These quick videos are my "finger exercises" when I can't be in the studio 24 7. ...
