Mandala
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Title: Mandala

Lead Artist(s):
Description:
The artist's mandalas are created from objects collected by the artist over a period of 8 years. The form is inspired by Tibetan mandalas, but unlike Tibetan mandalas, which are deconstructed with a ceremony and given back to the earth, the artist's mandalas are sorted out again for reuse in another venue. For Mandala, the artist worked with Exploris staff, selected groups of school children, and community members. They worked together for 4 days. On the last day, there was a take-down ceremony where the origins of the project were discussed, and everyone helped to sort the caps back into their bins. It only took about an hour. This work is created from over 25,000 bottle caps are jar lids collected over a period of 8 years.
