This is a full-circle composition built from hundreds of individually shaped quilled coils, each one carefully placed to create layers of depth and movement. The piece radiates outward from a central eye, surrounded by concentric rings that shift through every color of the rainbow. On the left, wavy strands of warm oranges and deep reds fan out like sun rays. On the right, cool blues and teals flow in graceful curves, anchored by a dramatic spiral detail. The center holds small metallic beads and tiny star shapes that catch light and create dimension against the white background.
What makes this work is the constraint and the payoff. Every single element had to be hand-rolled, shaped, and positioned. The wavy strands aren't just glued down flat. They're curved and layered so they cast actual shadows. The concentric rings get progressively tighter as they move inward, creating a visual pull toward the eye. The color progression from warm to cool feels deliberate but never forced, like the piece knows exactly what it's doing.
The whole thing sits raised off the surface, which means it changes as you move around it. Shadows shift. The metallic elements gleam differently depending on the light source. This isn't a flat graphic translated into paper. It's a sculpture made from rolled strips, and the dimensionality is part of the story.
The canvas wrap adds texture and presence. The radial composition stretches across the surface with a physical quality that feels closer to a painting than a print. Color wraps around the sides so the piece reads as a complete object from every angle. The dimensional details in the original quilling translate into depth suggestion on the canvas, giving it weight without the actual raises. Hung on a wall, this version commands attention.
