It started with quadrilled paper… where I would fill in the squares (quite neatly, for someone so young) with markers in color patterns I saw– or “felt”– inside my head.
I also had a fascination with snowflakes, after seeing photographs of them in one of my grade school science books.
As I grew older, the patterns grew more complex. I was maybe nine or ten when my first crude attempts at free-hand geometric patterns saw the light of day. Many of them were inspired by one of my favorite toys of the day: The “Spirograph.”
By the time I was thirteen, the drawings had become fairly complex. I would draw them on paper with the finest point black marker I could get my hands on, and then give them to my mother to use as bookmarks, in her vast collection of cookbooks.
