Bubbles and Circles

BUBBLES BUBBLES BUBBLES…WHO DOESN’T LOVE BUBBLES? WHEN I FIRST SAW ARTIST PAT CONLON’S BUBBLE COLLECTION, I WAS IMMEDIATELY DRAWN TO IT. MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED THIS CUSTOM DESIGNED PIECE FOR OUR HOME AND EACH TIME I LOOK AT IT, I LOVE IT EVEN MORE. I LOVE NEW YORK. I LOVE THAT PAT INCLUDES A “CRACKER JACK” SURPRISE IN EACH OF HIS CUSTOM RECYCLED CANVAS PIECES. I LOVE BUBBLES AND I LOVE CIRCLES. MY WHOLE ADULT LIFE, I HAVE LIVED IN HOOP EARRINGS AND BANGLE BRACELETS! 

SO WHAT GIVES I ASKED MYSELF? THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT CIRCLES THAT MAKE US FEEL SAFE…OUR FAMILY CIRCLES, FRIEND CIRCLES, FAITH CIRCLES, SPORTS CIRCLES, ETC…CIRCLES PROJECT A POSITIVE EMOTIONAL MESSAGE, COMMUNITY, FRIENDSHIP, LOVE, SECURITY, AND UNITY. THIS IS WHY THERE ARE SO MANY CIRCULAR LOGOS OUT THERE!

IN MANUEL LIMA’S 2017 BOOK TITLED “THE BOOK OF CIRCLES: VISUALIZING SPHERES OF KNOWLEDGE”, HE THEORIZES THAT THE CURVED SHAPE OF THE HUMAN EYE DRAWS US TO CIRCLES MORE THAN ANY OTHER SHAPE. THIS LOOKS LIKE A REALLY COOL BOOK TO STUDY!

JUST FOR FUN AND SINCE I HAVE HAD A BIT OF EXTRA TIME ON MY HANDS, I STARTED THINKING ABOUT ALL THE CIRCLES OUT THERE…COMMENT IF YOU HAVE ANY FUN AND POSITIVE ONES NOT LISTED IN THIS POST!
