This piece is a feast for the eyes with its variety of texture and color. From a distance the gradated palette of pink threads and the linear painted background seem simple and clean, but upon closer inspection they work together to focus attention on the swirling elements. There is a surprising abundance of contours and shapes that appear as the viewer moves around.
