| These pieces are a response to a specific
set of creative questions. What geometric shapes can be born
of a single, continuous line? How would these diverse, rather
arbitrary shapes work together harmoniously? How would they
transform between point, line and actual form. What can exist,
how does it exist and how does it interact with what is around
it? What does the design have to say? What little adventures
could one make? |

Il Cappello di Nonno (Grandpa's Hat)
| A memory came to life again
during this geometric exploration. In the summer of 2003 the
sun was especially strong in the south of Italy and created
situations the farmers had never seen before. This prompted
them to do things they never had to do before. "Nothing
is the same anymore, not even the weather." With at
least three thousand years of farming tradition in this region
it created some fear. A light moment that caused everyone to
laugh was when one by one in quick succession, everyone noticed
"Grandpa" (Nonno) had put on an extra hat to protect
his head from the sun. The second hat was rather askew. A story
born of a random line. |

Safe Inside
| "Safe Inside" and
"Under Cover" are the same, in that the movement of
the line offered interiors not explored before. The line and
shapes were designed first and then the spheres were inserted
to accent the new sense of volume being created. |
Under Cover
The Hermit
| "Hermit Kermit" is
a great example of this process. The little central motif signifys
nothing more than an entity that seems rather happy in it's
own little environment. The entire design being born of a single
line randomely drawn that is continuous. |
