Although the spiral has become a common cliché, its presence in nature
and ancient cultures give it a
timeless significance.
From galaxies spinning, conch shells forming,
ferns unfolding, whirlpools swirling, tornado
winds joining, and the DNA double helix defining the stuff of life, spirals occur
everywhere.
Spirals are natural phenomena of form and process that are beautiful in and of themselves,
as well as powerful poetic metaphors. Spirals breathe, drawing the eye inward, flinging it
back outward. As a mandala of meditation, the spiral is a visual vehicle focusing on a
central place within, or as a pathway to expand away from the self into the world beyond.
As you gaze upon the wire spiral of these works of art, watch it unfurl worlds within your
reach. Let it transport your thoughts into a miraculous universe of possibilities.
Imagine the possibilities. |
