Brian’s collected pieces, volume by volume.
I understand contrast and repetition, alignment and proximity. These principles inform my practice, creating straight lines and right angles. I imagine this world not as it is, but how I would make it, how it could be with everything symmetrical. It is so soothing for me to create order for myself. And yet God always arrives on imperfect rainbows, and within lopsided circles called relationship.
