Tondo on Stripes

The stripes are like the boards of an old icon case; the circle lies on top.

One subject lived through dozens of ways: rider, spear, serpent — each time in a different matter, from red ground to blue tile. A series about an image that survives any reworking and stays recognisable from across the room.
