"Blind Spots" (sold)





















(sold)


Everyone has had the experience of driving, needing to change lanes, and not seeing the vehicle in the next lane because it was in your "blind spot". Hopefully you've not had an accident doing this and you finally realized that small concave mirrors could reveal what was typically in your blind spot. There are other situations not as easily resolved. A good friend or a spouse and even your children can become your concave mirror because your blind spot is like the proverbial "elephant in the room" that everyone sees but no one wants to talk about or everyone sees but you.

I've often thought of letters as the stitching that connects two or more color shapes together. The tall skinny black letters in the background not only connect the color fields at the top and bottom but they create more shapes by extending to two sides of the paper. Thinking of lettering in this way can often help determine where to place the lettering. The white dots interspersed with the white lettering also form another connection between the top and bottom color fields.
