n the organization of day-to-day life, things alter, slip, and change. The medium of watercolor is much the same. I set up a grid for structure, then aim to make circular forms with no drawn guides. I choose pigments that separate naturally and mix them with other pigments that do the same. Occasionally, my hand slips and one-color bleeds into another. The pattern of that bleed changes based on the amount of pigment vs. water. The pattern of the overall image changes with the accumulation of those alterations.
