STATEMENT

‘Proto-Forms’ is a drawing reflecting the ideation process of creation.

The circle is a symbol of unity, the square symbolizes the Earth and 4 elements. The forms are angular, based loosely on Neolithic forms related to creation and change, such as lozenge, zigzag, hook. (Marija Gimbutas, ‘Language of The Goddess, 1989)
