The Mandala is seen as a spiritual, circular art form in Tibet and Native American culture. This work explores how nature creates perfect circles using water as its media and canvas.

“Liquidity,” the music for this piece was composed and performed by Kit Watkins in his wet, dark and low album from 1992. You can listen to this and other of his works at his website, www.KitWatkins.com

Inspiration for this work came from a magical trip to Chapel Lake in the Adirondacks in upstate New York with production assistance from Michael Gessner and Denzil Spicer.
