Beth Mateskon Mandala Process BFA Aquinas College Art Exhibition

This video documents The Art of Walking, a mandala installation created at the 2022 BFA Aquinas College Show in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The installation explores how walking slows the mind and opens our awareness to the quiet patterns that exist all around us. The mandala was created as a visual reflection on movement, attention, and the natural rhythms of the landscape. Walking has long been connected to creativity. Many artists, writers, and philosophers have found that the simple act of walking allows the mind to settle and notice details that are often overlooked. Light changes across the ground. Leaves shift in the wind. Water moves through the landscape in repeating patterns. The circular structure of a mandala reflects this same rhythm. It gathers observation, movement, and reflection into a single form. As viewers move around the work, the experience becomes part of the piece itself. Walking becomes a way of seeing. This installation invites viewers to slow down and consider how attention shapes our experience of the world. When we move more slowly through a space, the ordinary begins to reveal layers of beauty and complexity. The work was created as part of a gallery installation at Aquinas College in Grand Rapids, Michigan and reflects an ongoing exploration of walking, nature, and contemplative art practice.
