Floating in space, the Open Mandala presents to the viewer a void which attracts and holds the attention in the Void of Cosmos. With the attention held there at the center of the picture, the Void draws forth aspiration and longing of the viewer for unity with all things. In response, the Void releases its energy to stimulate and renew the viewer's aspiration and desire for union. It is a dynamic tool for meditation which, seriously used with regularity, provides a galvanising means of advancement. (Painted in 1972)
