For the first time with this piece, the title came before the painting. As part of my creative process, I began looking for conceptual inspiration by playing with words in which pi-sounding syllables could be replaced with pi. Ironically, I have poor eyesight and can imagine bifocals will play a part in my future. I sought to create a painting that was both in and out of focus, depending on where one looks; a blurred outside becoming crisp. This piece is the only one in the series where brush strokes are visible, a significant shift from my desire to create images my desire to create images with sharp geometrical edges.
