I explicitly thought "I think Mike might find this interesting" but I had completely forgotten your rings, which are obviously the source of my vague musing.<br /><br />I am going to ruthlessly provide a direct link to your rings, because I think they're worth comparing.<br /><br />http://mike-chisholm-photo.squarespace.com/#/rings/<br /><br />And also Ms. Mazinani, although she's a short google away:<br /><br />http://www.sanazmazinani.com/<br />amolitorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15743439184763617516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-654754338632526091.post-13655217320895556492017-03-15T13:31:45.274-07:002017-03-15T13:31:45.274-07:00Her work is, as you say, attractive, and has inter...Her work is, as you say, attractive, and has interesting resonances (once these are pointed out) but (for me) has the crucial flaws of (a) betraying its kaleidoscopic means of production too obviously, and (b) lacking satisfactory "fractal" resolution all the way down to the detail.
