Donut plugs

Donut holes create a void, and Donut plugs fill that void.

They say, "In a world where the only color is orange, nothing is orange."

If orange is the only color, it loses its ability to stand out—nothing to compare with, no relativity to define it. In this sense, orange wouldn't appear "orange" at all; it would simply be everything and, therefore, nothing. The importance of color itself depends on multiplicity, opposition, and contrast. In such a setting, orange becomes a void rather than a hue. We create such enclosures in many areas of our lives. I'm actively exercising one such restraint in my paintings. I call it the Sphere. 

The formation of these spheres is evident in the lifecycle of a corporation. Initially, in its infancy, a corporation is more tribal — nimble in its approach, quick to innovate, quick to accept or reject ideas, accommodating, and less structured, almost amoeba-like. However, as this tribal structure evolves into a corporation over time, a protective enclosure begins to form, shielding it from the very changes that once fueled its creation and growth. A sphere is created. Now, the same energy is directed toward protecting the enclosure. Some might argue that this is the natural progression from growth to realized value, but I believe the true potential lies in delaying this maturation indefinitely. More on such spheres down the line.
