These two Collage Peace Mandalas are based on fine art pieces I created for my "Swan Song" show at Galerie Itinerrance in Paris. Peace has been an important theme in my work for many years and I’m always looking for new ways to address peace visually. These mandalas have a lace-like fragility laid over chaotic collage backgrounds. The contrast is meant to emphasize the delicate and precarious nature of peace that requires thoughtful care to maintain. We all need reminders to be vigilant in pursuing peace, so here’s one of my contributions.
