When I look at it now, my focus shifts back and forth repeatedly, sometimes seeing the round white shapes as holes punched through purple-turquoise fabric, and sometimes seeing the round white shapes as planets floating in purple-turquoise outer space.
That figure-ground ambiguity pretty much sums up how I felt upon return from my travels!

Love how the painting totally reflects your post-vacation dissonance!
Hi, Joje—thanks! Definitely lots of blurred edges and a disorientation upon return!
I very much like the association with outer space actually! Endless galaxies and so on...
I like the outer space connection also! I recently listened to some fascinating segments on public radio about dark matter, and elements, and the mysteries of the universe—I feel some of that in this little painting.
Space...the final frontier!
And my real challenge: how to create/recognize internal spaciousness—definitely a frontier for me : )
