From the Art Moco site:
Photographer Bill Armstrong's liberal interpretation of the mandala is
through the use of color to form these visual maps for spiritual
navigation. Armstrong produced these works, from the Infinity series,
by setting the camera's focusing ring to infinity, thereby de-focusing
the objects being photographed. Concentric circles of intense color
make up these modern mandalas. An exhibition of 35 of Armstrong's
mandalas is currently on at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, through
February 1, 2009.
