Three-Ten

Three chain links, ten screws. Or is it? What about ten screws, three links, two half-links? Or shall we say treble five? Five screws, five links, five screws; vertical-horizontal-vertical reading. And what about the two top links on each side of the chain? The ones that go through the two holes? Suddenly, we have another number - 'two', and a new unit to focus on, the holes.

Holes that are perfectly round, big enough to allow another rounded shape (O-shape of a link) to go through. Circle and an O-shape, therefore two circles, one O-shape,... I would say, a pattern has just been born...

Now, let's have a look further. Let's observe the tones, the plains; two bright and one throwing a shadow that extends to one side; two-one. And 'two-one' brings me ever so nicely to the beginning; only read slightly differently - two vertical lines (of the screws), one horizontal one (the chain) wrapping around the two horizontal lines.

I must say, all this analysis makes me think along the lines of jewellery (if thought in delicate terms) or a decorative piece, vertical or horizontal, that could be made out of chunkier components.

Well, this is enough food for thought. I took this picture earlier today and have been thinking of it ever since. I wonder in which direction this picture could develop into a project. And I have not focused on the pitch drops yet... Let's just leave it here for now. When the time comes... Have a lovely week and see you next time. K-)
