Comments: This is kind of an unusual work that doesn't fit in anywhere else. I had been drawing mandalas for years and I think on some level I wanted to change their dominant, central position in my art. I had also been trying some rough, rocky, landscape sketches and thought to bring those two elements together. I also saw a lot of symbolism in this pairing. On the one hand you have the abstract, very cerebral geometric structure, and below it you have the very earthy, rocky, material of the physical world.
