Creating this piece
Learning curves.
In June 2018 when I completed a concept I had set out to explore during the Artist Residency at Buffalo Creek Art Center, I had two days left. Initially, I intended to just relax a bit and slowly pack my things.
But I woke up in the morning with the vision of intersecting and undulating lines. I rushed to the studio, grabbed a spare wax blank, drew some lines and roughed out the shape of this 13” high piece. I see it as an extension of E-Ride and Zest.
At first, I named the piece Double Back. But as it became more and more complex, as you see, I renamed it Entwined.
