"I take walks several times during my painting day just to move and clear my mind. While painting Transcendental Turtles, I began to notice on the road the lines that were cracks in the asphalt and the shapes formed by the lines.

The energy of beginning, The focus of molding the components

The frustration of failure, The persevering, The satisfaction of it all coming together, often in unexpected ways.

and the Universe will dance around you in love and support."

The three poles represent principles.

The winding, twisting shapes around the poles

represent the dance we, human beings, do around them.

Language · Computer · DNA · Communication · Pattern · Vibration
