From before the time of Stonehenge, the circle has gathered people together. The circle is found in the art of every culture and time. It is no wonder that I was drawn to the radiating circles created in this tie-dyed jacquard cloth from Africa. What could I add to this ancient shape? My energy, my time, my own shape. My shape was created by visualizing my breath coming in and out as I connected to the earth. The colours of the shape change to echo the rings of the tie-dyed cloth as my energy flows from inside myself to the green earth around me into the deep, dark blues of outer space beyond my imaginings.
