An important thing about the work in this exhibition
is the simplicity of it.

‘avoid the use of unnecessary notes'

Traditionally, circles mean the self
yet they also symbolize so much beyond the self.

The sun moon stars earth planets, these are all circles.
The air…what shape is air?

Loved objects are important for humans.

“our artefacts tell more about ourselves than our confessions”

Lake and Monumental Simplicity

The world is whirling out of control

but these squares marked with circles and crosses and dots

and loved with the artist's repetitive caress
hold us safe.
