Rainbow Beach - 75th St. Day 37

I drew many lines in an free form spiral shape and circled them to connect them as one - one cell, one organism.  I then connected them to the city and the city to them via a path of lines along the beach to the horizon and back, where the ghostly silhouette of Chicago hung below the dark foreboding snow clouds miles to the north.  It was a strand, an umbilical cord, a lifeline to civilization from the wild, windswept beach with only the traces of animal track braking the faultless crust of snow.
2,050 lines
