 | Pastels
This pastel series grew out of studying the mandala shape as prayer and art. As I "opened up" in prayer, so did the curvilinear shapes from the original unbroken circle of the mandala.
The use of curved layers of quickly applied pastel in liturgical colors capture spiritual energy present in faith, nature, inanimate objects, and emotions. These curves also invite the viewer into the work, its meaning, and self introspection. The theme of light and dark, with emphasis on light elements, depicts my hope as a Christian. |
