The idea of multiples whether in many simple forms or in resounding curves is something that has caught my interest due to the fact that if you use the same simple form over and over you can create something so complex and beautiful. The piece above by Angela Cunningham is a great example of this. the flower like quality of this would be lost completely if each piece were viewed as an individual but all together they create this beautiful repetition and symmetry.
Kim Westad has gone about this in a different way taking a more minimal approach. I see the curves that she uses as multiples though how they play and bounce your eye around keeping it excited. Also the way she uses the curves in her pieces makes the eye not only want to look at it but I feel like it makes you want to walk around the whole thing and view it from all directions.
Lilach Lotan's piece
Lotus has this aura about it that I just love. The way she has put her petal shaped elements together is an idea that I have been wanting to work with for a while in both ceramic and fibers. It should be interesting to see what will happen when I actually get around to trying this.
