Sculpture: Technological Mandalas


"Technological mandala 30" by Leonard Ulian
Electronic components, copper wire, and paper

Leonard Ulian offers a modern interpretation of the classic mandala.  While a mandala is traditionally formed from sand, Ulian has assembled his from electronic components, such as resistors, copper wire, and capacitors.

The mandala is a traditional spiritual symbol in both Hinduism and Buddhism meant to represent the universe, but through his deep interest in how systems can be applied to the process of art making, Ulian has adopted mandala patterns to create symmetrical networks.
