some could readily respond...others were frankly stumped...
I thought about it for a moment...and nature immediately came to mind
the variations of color in an autumn leaf...
the patterns of drifting snow...
the lines of a graceful tree bough...
the layout of a spider's web...
as one designer put it, nature always gets it right
and though I may be fascinated with things metal and mechanical, I know that the clock spring mimics the nautilus shell...and that rusty patina is water & air working in tandem on destroying metal...and that paper was originally made from plant fibers...nature always in the first degree...
That's probably why I keep an abundance of crumpled leaves, dried poppy pods, striped feathers, bare branches, forgotten nests, patterned stones and parched wishbones in my studio...to keep inspiration nearby...at the ready...
