Foreword On one level, these carefully observed images reveal in their subject the cyclical nature of life, the objective processes of nature we are all so aware of, summer, winter, the phases of the moon and so forth.

Perhaps though, on a deeper level, the structure of these natural forms call to mind the mandala archetype present in so many cultures and mythologies as a meditation and psychological expression not only as observers but as individuals with active potential.
