BALANCE

Kitchen Mechanics

This was fun.  What interesting shapes could I find that weren't too hard to cut out?  I started with the long, 'thin' items first, and then added 'round' items to provide some balance.  The end result seems a bit like the cogs and pulleys of a machine.

Inner Mechanics

I tried and tried to do something with all the negative space pieces, but got nowhere with the huge blocks of negative space outside the mechanical 'monster'.  The inner negative spaces easily slipped into a spare design which reminds me of a Zen garden.  Creating a bit of a curve in the line of the 'round' elements helped to balance the sharp irregular outline on the left of the large piece.
