Undertaken as a 'preliminary  sketch' before working on a larger work 'Wheels Keep on Turning'. Inspired by topographical maps and a connection to movement within our environment  - that we and our actions are connected to the world and our place within the cosmos.
 
Extract from Wheels Keep on Turning artists statement:
..."I am exploring the idea of several ‘cogs of the machine’ floating as particles, as a part of the cosmos. I have been drawn to the circular motif in particular, as a circle represents ideas of movement, spinning, evolution and the repeating cycles found all around us. In a circle, there is no beginning or end, but a continous loop. In my work I am in constant pursuit of breaking from the cycle, or tradition of what is expected."
