A perfect circle can easily be made using a tack and a piece of string and colored pencils. The length of string determines the size of the circle. I use this simple devise to draw three overlapping circular bands within a larger field layered with slanting red rain, a large white painted circle and a dark blue cloud-like stain on unstretched canvas. I overlap and layer the arc gesture generated by the drawing in my dance. As a transitional phrase I transpose the circular gesture into a series of chaine turns.
