Problem - Create a banner, 18" by 54", no more than 6" deep, that expresses some circle or cycle in life. Inspirational poem written by Jan Gerber:

Circles/Cycles
A circle is a cycle
A cycle is a circle
A cycle of life
A circle of friends
Cycles of space, circles of astronauts
Cycles of time, circles of earth and moon
Cycles of thought, circles of insight
Circles of change, cycles of relationships
Cycles of motion:
The wash cycle, the dry cycle, the motorcycle, the bicycle
Physical, mechanical, ethereal, connecting unending streams of time space motion and thought
In continuum, gently shifting and molding us through experience interaction and creation.

Process & Development - ponder the circles and cycles in your life and in nature. Choose something that you would like to communicate through your work. Select the textile techniques you would like to incorporate. Experiment will lead you to your final product.
