Restructured Circles #5

Catalog number: 2012-0005

DESCRIPTION: This piece is 5th in the Restructured Circles series and it's also the first of three pieces that are predominantly green. The choice of color was  somewhat intentional--I like green--but it was mostly the result of just playing with dye and ending up with several large pieces of green cloth. I committed myself to using as much of it as possible to complete these pieces. Having done that, it was interesting to see which bits of painted/printed cloth made their way into finished compositions and which didn't.
