Celtic cross headstone, originally uploaded by bobsee.
Maybe it’s because it’s part of my culture and has been familiar to me all my life but Celtic knots, and Celtic crosses are very appealing to me.
Probably one of my favourite symbols in the world is the “yin-yang” symbol but I think the Celtic Cross captures a lot of the same ideas as that Eastern design for me.
I love the circle around the cross itself which creates a very pleasing sense of something holistic but its the Celtic knots which I really love. I love tracing them with my finger, following the curves and sweeping lines, under and over each other, intricately intertwined. Such a strong sense of the inter-connectedness of everything.
I love how there are no beginnings and no endings.
And most of all I love the continuous FLOW of the lines.
