Gazing Into Zen in Las Vegas | UNLV News
Article Excerpt:
Rather than seeing Las Vegas as culturally vacant, James Stanford looks around him and sees artistic opportunity.
One of the UNLV alumnus’ endeavors involves taking photographs of many of Las Vegas’ iconic neon signs and architecture and using them as the basis of new works of art.
After years of photographing such images, Stanford began using his graphic arts skills to turn those photographs into mandalas, which he describes as visual works of art that take you into higher consciousness.
