The other day I began a series about circles, inspired by Kandinsky’s Heavy Circles. As I was helping my wife shop yesterday at the department store (meaning as I sought out the nearest place to sit down), I propped my feet up on this coffee table, when I realized that it was filled with circles. It, in fact, was a slice of a 55-year-old tree.
Circles – Tree Cross Section with Branches
The photo below indicates the birth of the magnificent organism that was destined to reside, in part, in a waiting area of a women’s apparel store.
Circles – Tree Origin
I particularly like the circles interrupted by a parabolic figure resulting from the generation of a tree branch.
Branch Interrupting Tree Circles
I intend to incorporate this research into my next study.
I love Kandinsky’s work I did a project on him at school, I’ve really appreciated your exploration of his style into your own work.
Thank you very much, Charlotte. You probably know that Kandinsky was a synesthete, who heard music when he saw colors. I believe he even collaborate with the composer Arnold Schönberg.
best,
Jack
