Forgot which book I found these pages from, so I can't give credit to it. But I always go back to this image. It's the repetitions and simple contrast of color that I like. I also think about what was, what is, and what it can be.

organized mess

... in studio

I've been working on production pieces.
I'm exploring the possibilities of the circle, a very simple and basic shape. Taking this shape and applying/creating texture to it.

I started to use the circle because it's common and there are a lot of precut discs and washers available.

Availability and prevalence is central in my work.
