jumped in. Some of your mandalas seem to be made of pure forms; some are made of what appear to be objects of one's day which you've assembled 'into' a mandala. I can't name these objects, they just feel like things we'd all find in our homes and cabinets, etc. All those round objects, some with lights inside, and some---the big red circles alternating around the rim---with "bowls" inside, and surrounded by pearls. The center is like a big eye, something from an old sci fi vision of computers (as in "2001") with beautiful blues and crimsons. And the eye "ball"---along with the lights along the rim---has stringy lines in it, like vines or even calligraphy. (At first I thought it was some Sanskrit prayer, like the traditional "OM"s that are written all over some Indian art.) And an inner band---ie, the band around the 'eye'---which seems very complexly carved. And all of it sits on some undulating fabric, end-paper, etc. Your mandalas are very rich, and with fascinating parts; and I find them constantly compelling and calling. I'll be back for more; this is a terrific gallery, Claude. (And btw, you wrote "buttered sunlight" in a recent comment. Great phrase! I'd love to buy some as art media, or spread it over toast or vegetables!)
