Welcome to the virtual exhibition for May’s Collab Lab challenge! This month, our community explored the theme of The Inner Circle, using structural symmetry, cycles, and geometry to find focus amidst chaos. Every featured creation utilizes the circle as a boundary, a lens, or a focal point.

Item 1
- Title of Work: Dandelions

- Availability: For sale – $30 (Plus shipping)
- Artist Statement: Inspired to make something wearable and challenge myself to work on a micro painting, this set came as a companion piece to the “Dandelions” painting.
