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.

Normanton Down 2013: The small circle at Normanton Down was a beautiful piece of simple, yet timelessly elegant geometry. A wonderful marriage of squares and circles, there is no need to measure, the geometry is entirely self generating. The marriage of the square and circle is in fact central to the creation of sacred space. The circle represents the Divine encompassing ‘all that is is’ and like the eternal spirit, the circle has no beginning and no end. “God is a circle whose centre is everywhere and circumference nowhere.” is a famous quote from Voltaire. The square on the other hand, represents the earth, matter, mother substance. The marriage of the two is seen in the dome atop of the church or temple which symbolises the bringing of heaven to earth or a place in which the heavenly and earthly can meet. This crop circle created an iteration of squares and circles, deepening the relationship and creating a powerful sacred space.
