The green field is adorned with gold circles and an oscillating red line, formed by aluminum wire shaped into barbs. The red line is a recurring motif in the artist's body of work, symbolizing geopolitical borders that violently disrupt human freedom and the migration of flora and fauna. Jimenez Underwood skillfully crafts this metalwork to resemble her thread-and-fabric weavings, shaping the wire to suggest fringe moved by an onset wind. "Wondering in Circles" highlights the artist's experimentation with materials, demonstrating her ability to transform a durable material, such as wire, into something that appears soft and flexible.Provenance
