I was in my garden all summer and so were three monarch butterflies. It
finally struck me that their abstracted form-a vertical stripe with equal
space on either side-was the form that I had been looking for. I had to be
quietly in the garden enough and emptying out my head enough before that
connection could surface and take shape.
The surfaces became dense with dot patterns, many layers of patterns and
then sanding in between.
