Tangles

Since I was young, I’ve always doodled mazes, getting more and more experimental and complex over time. One day, I had an epiphany: what if a maze had no start or end? Out of this concept, the “tangle” was born! Some tangles connect to themselves forming knots, while others extend beyond the page, creating the illusion of a close-up snapshot of a larger, more complex shape.

Triangle Tangle - I love contrasting simple shapes (in this case an equilateral triangle and three circles) with a complex, tangly shapes.
