The forms of shrubbery or trees and the roundness of fruits are very similar. While working in very different subjects, I find that I am creating and recreating the same scenes.
I have been busy contemplating circles and circle-like things.
Maybe it’s just me, or is it Mother Nature who loves circular things? She makes the stuff. People like me draw it.
Been looking for profound simplifications. One way to simplify a scene is to draw it from memory. Another way is to draw very small: the smaller the space is, the less room there is for detail. Hence a small drawing or a remembered scene provides a grand strategy for getting to the core of things.
Naturally enough, the little drawing is a form of invention also. For how many ways can you remember a thing? How many ways can you break it down into its simple elements? It turns out that there are many ways.
