Susan Barnett: Mandala IV 500-Piece Circular Jigsaw Puzzle

Susan Barnett’s works are created at the intersection of systemic pattern. culture. and art. Her Mandala IV painting might at first appear static. based on an underlying geometric pattern. but its overlaid shapes and color juxtaposition reveal an immersive space where new patterns emerge and the boundary between viewer and painting dissolves. I am interested in the patterns that exist beneath the surface of our lives. These patterns act as an unconscious director. she says. emphasizing one aspect and hiding another. Contemplate life’s complexities and meditate on Barnett’s mandala as you assemble this 500-piece circular puzzle.
