Description of idea

Describe your idea and concept of your work in relation to the festival outlines:

This work is titled "Circles." How is it what we (seemingly) always work in circles or one kind or another? We begin, then commit, then rethink, then evaluate, then make progress, then come back to our original idea. How do we proceed and what kinds of imaginative processes do we apply to making sense of what is what? This work is about the process of circles and cycles.

What kind of communication approach do you use?

My idea here is to use two quite things: repetition and complexity. The "perfect form" is a circle. The possibilities of what we can accomplish are greatly magnified through recording the repeated trails of our ideas ... of our considerations of what is possible. I am using basic design principles to bring these ideas to the viewer in this work.

What are in your opinion concrete benefits to the society because of your communication?

It seems clear that nothing is as simple as we think it is. So it is with this work. I hope that my efforts to present the idea of "circles" and how we repeat and, recapitulate, and reconsider what we do will be valuable to thoughtful viewer who are interested in making sense of seeing, and understanding their cognitive patterns. The value of this work is in its message: look carefully, see patterns, make sense of what is there, act carefully based on what you know ... nothing is as simple as it first appears.

What did you personally learn from creating your submitted work?

This work is mine.

Why is your work, GOOD communication WORK?

This piece presents a complex visual field and a simple message: consider the cycles ... the circles ... of what one experiences. Clear thinking comes from clear understanding.

Where and how do you intent do implement your work?

As with other images in the series I am currently evolving, this work will be part of a traveling exhibition in India over the next 2-3 years. This piece is part of a collaborative effort with Indian Artists and educators to present ideas that might become change agent to the art viewing public in India.

Did your intervention had an effect on other Media. If yes, describe the effect? (Has other media reported on it- how? Were you able to change other media with your work- how?)
