About the Item
A meticulously rendered owl at the center of this graphite drawing is the prominent feature of this mandala. Many cultures associate owls with wisdom, intuition and good judgment, a widely held symbol for sacred knowledge. Intricately drawn patterns, planets and small vignettes containing landscapes with endless horizons and delicate crescent moons surround the animal and the edges of the mandala. This drawing is entirely hand-drawn using only pencil on paper. Framed in an off-white wooden frame, 22.25 x 22.25 inches (unframed), 25.25 x 25.25 inches (framed). Signed and titled on the back of the frame.
Japanese-born artist Michiyo Ihara uses only paper and pencil to create artwork that expresses the complexity of the universe. Beginning at the center of the white paper, she makes her first mark. Building outward with amazing skill and intricacy, she rotates the paper to continue the drawing. Each tiny symbol, sometimes animal, plant or planet, exists within a cell-like membrane. One little universe begets another as they grow outward in a beautiful, imperfect near symmetry. Ihara begins each drawing title with the word snowflake to reference the infinite and unique possibilities of creation. The artist lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
