FASCICLE

CHARACTERISTICS
dotworkmandalatalisman

Ornament is arrangement before image. Dotwork, symmetry and talismanic motifs, from hamsa to mandala to lunar charts, are composed to sit with the body's own architecture rather than on top of it. Every plate in this fascicle is built around balance: a center line, a repeat, a held breath.
