The circular form serves as a harmonious shape that establishes a meditative space free from adornment. In using the circular form I am building upon the art of prehistory and its philosophical significance as an icon that has no beginning and no end. From a contemplative space where the nature within is just as important as the nature outside I create work that evinces harmony between form and content.
