As an artist exploring new possibilities, Chris has been working with mandalas and cyclical themes for years. The round medium serves as a metaphor for the cycles we traverse in our daily lives.
The inspiration for the artwork sprang initially from his love of astrology. Astrology uses circles and cycles to represent the changing universe. As the planets drift through the cosmos; as the seasons change; as the days come and go; the universe evolves and expands in a timeless swirl of circular motion. As above, so below. The very essence of the circle is at the core of our DNA and the patterns of nature, time, and space.
