 A ribbon for gifts that was slightly curled and then taped in a twisted position.

Focusing on the curves and bends of the ribbon, Repose is a study in organic shapes. I named it Repose as it brought to mind the image of a woman leaned back on her arms with her lower body turned towards the viewer but her upper body turned away. I enjoy how the use of black & white really enhances the movement of the curves.

Very nice use of black and white (what is simpler?), and although there is interesting movement in the subject, it is subtle and quiet. Great job from the 'Great Job Baggie'!

simple but effectively dynamic. a lovely and pretty geometric shape - this has been very well done. good piece of abstract that could be hung on a wall. 10.

Cool and simple. Would it have been more interesting if the ribbon were going diagonal? Hmmm - just a thought.
