The Ripple Effect


This is an exercise in stacked multiples. Start with a photo then repeat, resize and reposition to create a striking new image. Lost in a pile of feathers, she emerges not quite as soft as first believed.

Or maybe a white Indian princess with her feather headdress.

 What happens when you toss a pebble into a pond? Does a lioness appear?

Rolling about in the black petals of a rare rose, she knows how to pick herself up from ashes and move forward. Taking a good look at herself in the mirror and scrutinizing what looks back surely helps.

Might she be the bride of a famous man-made monster? Perhaps she is simply showing the purity of her strength.

And what would happen if she fell into bed head first? Will she know how to hit them over with a feather?

When she speaks, might her message reverberate about the room?

Will we hear the rippling of her song if she sings in the hall?

Terribly organized, it's all so very neatly packed, almost to a fault, with the ripple of laser cut, corrugated silk.

It is, after all, through the simple act of repetition, repetition, repetition that the task is learned and perfection finally emerges.
