Indepence Day Circle in a Circle

Inspired by the gorgeous work of weaver Gloria McRoberts,

I stayed up all night working on creating a circle within a circle. It was hard to warp, but I figured it out.

I've been working in blue to create works for my brother, whose first and second favorite colors are blue. He's got a new home and more space, so I see these as works that can be massed or separated... he can play with the arrangement. This gestures toward our shared from childhood love of science fiction.
