Many people create artistic reproductions of the crop circles; some as paintings, some as sculpture, others as jewellery, even as quilts! Karen Alexander is but one in a long line of artists that use the circles as inspiration for their own works.  Karen’s  paintings are created as part her exploration of the number, geometry and symbolism of the crop circles; an educational process, the results of which are freely shared on this website. 

The print measures 30 x 30 centimetres (the image itself measures 20 x 20 centimetres). Each print is individually signed by the artist.

Marden Henge 2013: This lovely circle appeared close to the close of the 2013 crop circle season and lasted only a few short hours before it was harvested by the farmer. The formation employed twelve-fold geometry and nested twelve ‘water droplet’ shapes to create a very striking design. The number twelve is ubiquitous throughout human measuring system and is the root of the classical imperial measures of feet and inches. We divide out days and nights by twelve, our year into twelve months and our skies into twelve zodiacal constellations. The were 12 tribes of Israel and twelve disciples of Christ. This list is almost endless, but is almost always connected by units of measure. Finally, there is a hidden square within this deign which proportions the size of the inner pattern to the outer ring, so this circle too speaks of the marriage of the heavenly circle and the earthly square.
