I don’ t know why my doodles lately have three-lobed forms. I guess three is an easy number of which to keep track, and to replicate if need be. I like the three-digit hands and feet in particular. Who needs those other pesky appendages? There is more justification. For example, a tripod is an inherently stable structure any more legs and wobble becomes a definite possibility. Maybe I’m just lazy.
At any rate, today’s design perpetuates my three-toed slothiness.
One of the first projects we did in Design Fundamentals was to take 3 coat hangers and make a stool we could sit on…I didn’t realize that 3 legs was the key, but I’ve remembered that fact ever since. Just shows once again that failure is a good teacher! (K)
