After mapping out a grid and border with dark graphite on a white canvas, I fashioned three large circles in a triangular arrangement (as I often do) and an X (forming another triangle). As the painting progressed, through trial and error (as it often does), adding color, pattern, and detail, one of the circles took on the likeness of a singular eye, and the idea (or image) of a Cyclops came to me. At first, I thought of the creature navigating a Labyrinth, and then… a wilderness. A wilderness of chaos and order!!
