Carol Nussbaum’s Mandala artwork comprises a variety of photographic subjects, ranging from children’s toys to paper goods, woven and repeated into a “mandala” or circle. Found in every culture and faith, a mandala is structured around a unifying center and represents both wholeness and the universe. Mandalas can be found in the circles of the sun, earth and moon but also in our circles of family and friendships. Carol notes, “Weaving elements of my travel photographs or even a trip to a farm stand into a mandala, brings a new mood or movement to the experience.” While typically used as a meditation aid, mandalas can also serve to center living and working spaces. Following a successful and award winning career in advertising, Carol Nussbaum joyfully exhibits her photographic mandalas in galleries and private collections.
