Estimate
$2 250
Meditation (k) is one of the mandala-like watercolour paintings from the series Twelve Hearts. Each piece was created by repeating one of the quintessential forms produced by the childhood toy Spirograph, four circles with a heart-shaped centre drawn twelve times. The washes of colour were applied while meditating on someone close to me. Meditation (k) was developed while I was caring for a friend during her illness. The artwork is a symbol of universal love.
