Gaia Star Mandalas: Ecstatic Visions of the Living Earth

This volume displays the modern style of mandala designed by artists Bell and Todd in which they photograph details of nature, scan them, and then create dazzling color digital images. In the introduction, they describe their path to creating this type of art which is not tied to any specific tradition, but offers an opportunity to experience an uplifting visual message about the union of spirit and matter. Each image is accompanied by a title, as well as an indication of the source material from which it was made. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
