Tayo envisions her inner world looking up at the soft blue-grey sky on a cloudy day where supreme beings live. The geometry she uses seems inside of her, and the constructions are often done in a sort of trance which she doesn't remember.  A huge influence was growing up in Muslim countries where one is surrounded by patterns of all kinds all the time, the patterns "entering" her. The lines are like threads, fine as hair, done with a steel nib with which, as a child in Africa, she learned to write with ink. The Dorgi is a Tibetan liturgical instrument which is gracefully moved in meditation and prayer.
