This collage builds upon my fascination with cellular forms. A mixture of ink, watercolor, wash, and collage, this work explores repetition and variation. Each circle was created by allowing small puddles of wash to dry—this created subtle tonal variations. Once dry, a ring of small black dots was added around each circle. The circles were then cut out, arranged on the black background paper and glued into the matrix.

The arranging became a bit of a game, with each cell revealing its perfect position. And the game continued even as I applied the glue; for sometimes impromptu changes were necessary to make the cells fit together just right.
