From Fragmentation to Wholeness

The theme of this work came partially through an image in a dream, a circling manikin: the beginning of a moving toy which needed more structures. (I used to teach wooden moving toymaking).

Out of that picture this composition arose like a design of circling parts of a potential acrobat figure or a complete toy.
It is a rather tight design, busy yet consistent with many colours drawn together against a flat, contrasting background expressing a sense of continuous movement. For me it is a design in its own right. It is one of my latest works exemplifying a sense of joy and lightness.
