Straight lines and perfect circles don’t exist in reality, all perfect shapes are mathematical abstractions. Using these abstractions of pattern and form, combined with layering of color or lack of color, an artist creates a world that we can enter by leaving our world behind. We enter the artist’s world with glittering eyes and a belief in the magic the artist creates.
