Here’s the latest in my series of mandala images on a light box, this one with petals circling around a sunflower. The outer ring consists of “stars” from a flowering jade bush in my garden.

Here are some other “targets” or “mandalas”: Studies in Petals; Petal Fractals; Floral Mandala; Petals; and A Simple Twist of Fate.

Over time this has become a body of work, a ding an sich (“thing in-and-of-itself”). This seems to happen when I start working in a new direction. The direction becomes a genre—one that I revisit periodically.

It would be nice to see these, perhaps printed for display on their own light boxes, together in one exhibition.
