The environments in which we live play a significant role within this series, as there are so many things that we encounter every day yet frequently overlook. Because geometric shapes have become so normalised throughout daily life, objects that we regularly come into contact with have started to grow familiar to us. We begin to see shapes hidden within the most simplest of things, some including the circular alarm clocks that wake us up in the morning, the triangular sandwiches we eat for lunch and the rectangular beds we snuggle into at night. Another concept that is greatly explored in the series is the relationship between some of the most basic and complex shapes, as well as the investigation of how juxtaposing forms leads us to associate with a variety of other things - the effects of colour association being one important factor in particular. Each of the 180 paintings mirror a new version of themselves by continuously reiterating their structure in various arrangements. Although they all appear to be alike, each is completely unique and is never repeated. When paired together, they deliver a complex interplay of colour and form while dancing in concert with one another, creating one enormous network. Not only are they exhibited differently each time, but how they are arranged also shifts with them.
