By the time I started this work an injury had cascade into a spinal problem which was beginning, rather alarmingly, to affect my ability to work. It is to date the last of the Tondo I have completed, and probably the most complex after 'Revolutions', which contained a far more restricted palette. Utilizing layers of opaque then transparent triangles in contact with one another I created a work with as many different colors in contact with as many other colors as possible. Once I achieved this I finished the piece with some minimalist line-work and was swept away to the emergency room and the wonders of a spinal tap. It is quite changeable in varying lights, and like most of the tondo, rotates freely on the wall. Lovely time to leave the experimental phase of the process and apply what has been learned through the Tondo experience to M-Brane Theory, a perfect square.
