A great wee discussion on religious art in the community with Suriyavamsa, artist and Dharma farer extraordinaire. He's just back from four months on retreat as part of the team on the men's ordination retreat for the Triratna Buddhist Order at Guhyaloka Retreat Centre in Spain near Alicante. Lovely to hear his thoughts on beautifully intricate models he made for a sand mandala - including his evocation of the making of pleated palm crosses in Barcelona for Palm Sunday!
