The vague rules:
-Each artist works with me to create two mandala pieces.
-Sizes may vary by pairing. (16x20, 18x24, 8x10, etc.) However, the two mandalas produced must ultimately be the same size, and acceptable to each member within a pairing.
-Any medium can be used, as long as it is able to be mailed easily (i.e. rolled or folded).
-Each artist in a pairing begins one mandala, with the intention of seeing/working on any particular piece, a total of twice. Once the marks have been made, both artists mail the pieces at the same time. This process will occur three times (three mailings total). In the end, each artist will have finished the mandala piece that the other has originally started.
This is a series that travels, not unlike postcards and mail art, but it will be more. This art will circle the earth. I have offered several artists a chance to work with me, on making mandalas. A mandala is both a mystical, and a natural shape, and an archaic, as well as a contemporary symbol. This project is also largely about separate collaborations and the mingling of artistic styles. I have asked for no abandonment of personal aesthetic, just a chance to work with something, and someone new. I have wanted to cross more invisible boundaries with my art for some time. This traveling, collaborative mandala series will be the first hurdle in a literal and metaphoric journey.
