entry description
The unique characteristics of each botanical specimen are emphasized when rendered within the rotational symmetry of the mandala form. Maple samaras, Cotinus leaf and panicles, Papyrus grass, and Pine needles were photographed and rotated at equidistant positions to complete a full rotation using my technique of Precise Incremental Rotation. An in-camera multiple exposure of 8-16 exposures was used to create the effect.back to gallery
