Gradations attract, enfold and please. Curves are more sensual than straights. The obvious is enchanted by the hidden. Protrusions are contrasted with indentions. Patterns fascinate, involve and deceive. Repetitions are to forms what beats are to mu…

‘FINGER NAIL SALOONS AND STARVING ARTISTS’ Is the ear half on or half off? (Read using your most credible ‘Al Pacino voice’) What would it be like if Vincent van Gogh were alive today? I would be willing to say that everything would be exactly th…

The Line

The mere line is one of the most abstract things imaginable. With it any aspect of the universe may be portrayed. From the most microscopic life forms to the farthest reaches of space, all by the simple line, which in itself is nothing, and in fact, in actual reality does not even exist.

Curves are more sensual than straights.
The obvious is enchanted by the hidden.
Protrusions are contrasted with indentions.
Patterns fascinate, involve and deceive.
Repetitions are to forms what beats are to music.

Colour, pure or muted, is its own magic.
Strong contrasts provide drama and excitement.
Soft edges invite touch and caress.
Disappearing acts create mystery and in… Continue
