Mandalas

Karen’s mandala is crafted meticulously from cut and folded romance novels. The process begins with the selection of these perfectly sized books, each chosen for their unique character. Karen then carefully cuts and folds these novels into specific geometric shapes.

Once the individual components are prepared, they are methodically arranged. She then assembles these folded forms into a cohesive design, each piece is placed with intention, contributing to the larger mandala structure. The final artwork is a testament to geometric precision, as the assembled forms come together to create a balanced and symmetrical composition.
