<strong>ARAS</strong> Connections Issue 2, 2012<br />
The globe of the child's head echoes the mother's head <strong>and</strong> they are both<br />
echoed by the globes of the mother's breasts.<br />
The child's arm, the mother's arm, <strong>and</strong> the mother's right leg form an<br />
unfolding fan; the three “ribs” of the fan are proportionately spaced <strong>and</strong> bound<br />
together by tension.<br />
From this view, the overall composition seems to be based upon a large<br />
triangle from the mother's head to her two knees, <strong>and</strong> a proportionately smaller<br />
triangle from the mother's head to her breasts. There is tension between the<br />
planes of these two triangles.<br />
I see smaller proportionate triangles between the mother's right breast<br />
