The Mystical Arts of Tibet
November 4, 2009 – January 6, 2010
From all the artistic traditions of Tantric Buddhism, that of painting with colored sand ranks as one of the most unique and exquisite. In Tibetan, this art is called dul-tson-kyil-khor, which literally means "mandala of colored powders." Millions of grains of sand are painstakingly laid into place on a flat platform over a period of days or weeks. Photographer Gary Mercer documents the creation of a Mandala at the Frost Museum by the tibetan monks.
