An untroubled state of calm and peace. But I saw this state as also active, expanding from the inner life to the outer, like ripples in a still pond when a pebble is tossed in. With the ripples, a quiet sense of calm expands. To suggest this effect, I created an armature of concentric circles, surfaced with newsprint and modge podge, then increasingly lighter shades of handmade blue paper moving from the center outwards. I then added streaks of color to suggest the transmission of positive thought and good feeling.
