Artist's Statement: All the patterns I do have names. This one's a Marble. I couldn't think of a title so I named it after the place it comes from. Marble is the Disneyland of patterns. In 30 seconds or less you have something interesting or a total mess. Adrenaline and spontaneity produce the juice in Marbleland.
