The curve is sensual; the straight line is intellectual. Curves and swirls are fluidic, organic . . . and realistic. The curve is process and change. It is a path influenced as much as by terrain as by its own momentum. Most of Bibel's works are constructed with the straightedge, but the swirl and eddy do grab her attention from time to time. These examples show the spark of motion and a little humor, too. |
