Process

Slicing the sensuous slopes of a pepper opens a new landscape of shape and form. Going closer with a microscope reveals a latticework of organic brickwork. Still closer with an electron microscope, it becomes a network of primordial geometry. You can keep going. There is always something there, and it is always beautiful.

It starts with a circle, a perfect shape. Connecting and intersecting, the action of a compass subdivides it, and the lines of a straight edge join points in space. A corolla of pattern blossoms from the original stroke. I am fascinated by the call and response. One edge responds to the next. The emotional content of one color responds to another. Circuits of intent travel across an image.
