A New Textile: "Circling"

Circling, hand dyed wool on linen; 2 pieces: 17 x 15 1/2 in. (each circle with a 9 1/2 in. diameter) and 7 in. diameter, 21 x 19 in. overall.

Two circles, attached, are connected by inverted color curves. I was thinking circles, both for this textile and for my most recent group of hooked wool drawings. The piece could have been complete with the two conjoined circles, but I thought a little bounce would be added by the additional circle floating above.

Here is the spot where the two circles are attached. There is a green line separating the two large color areas, just for emphasis. I hooked the larger color areas of the circle in horizontal lines and the smaller areas parallel to their inner curve; this emphasizes their difference and creates a bit of a shallow space, as though the horizontal areas are held within cups. Or are they simply phases of the moon?.....
