I’ve typically been requested why I don’t experiment with or paint on shapes that aren’t circles.
And the reply is that I positively do. I simply don’t publish most of that on-line as a result of that’s not what I wish to do extra of. I favor round shapes over every other form.
Round canvases for my line work and spherical brooches for my mini-paintings. The circle feels prefer it comprises all the things inside in. An all-encompassing universe.
The Earth is spherical (not an ideal sphere however very shut). It comprises all the things & everybody that I like. It’s house. That’s how I really feel about my round canvases. I can pour all the things right into a circle. How I really feel, onto a canvas of any dimension. My hopes and goals and loopy fantasies!
There’s nothing fallacious with squares & rectangles however their sharp corners and straight strains are usually not for me. Nothing about me is straight or sharp. I’m all curves & twisted strains & messy. Amorphous. Form-shifting. Absorbent & mushy edges. Will maintain and defend.
The round canvas continues with the #WearableArt I’m at the moment engaged on with the Bhojpatra (भोजपत्र). The bark of the Bhurja tree (the Himalayan Birch). Coming quickly! Learn extra concerning the new sequence right here.
