Spirals and Circles: The Art of Stu Jenks

endicott-studio.com

“The Circle. The Spiral. Universal symbols from all cultures, representing everything from festive pinwheels to the internal journey of the soul. The Spiral: A movement down into despair, a motion up into joy, a sojourn inward and back out again. The Circle: A path of completion, a new beginning, a continuing sense of union. For the past number of years I have been exploring in my photography these two symbols, creating them in sand, in flame, in water, in time. Each time I learn a little more about the space I’m in, both emotionally internal to my experiences, and physically external to my environment. This series is as much about the exploration of my spiritual reality, as it is about an appreciation of form, shape, and design.”
