 Circling around art.

Inspiration can come from the most unexpected places and so it was when I visited a second-hand market. There I stumbled upon an old framed print of a picture by Melbourne artist Leonard French.

The picture became the inspiration for the above work by 180 student in Brentwood Secondary College Melbourne. In essence we developed a series of emblematic mandalas.
