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 high-gloss surface turns this piece into something luminous. The warm oranges and reds on the left side glow against the cool teals and blues on the right. The metallic beads in the center read like actual points of light. The gloss sharpens every curve and coil, making the concentric rings almost architectural in their precision. Walk past it in different light and the colors shift slightly, which suits a piece this dynamic.
