Patterns of my life

A tall, narrow woodblock print composed of overlapping circular medallions rendered in bold black-and-white patterns — radiating triangles, zigzag stripes, spirals, and geometric star bursts — stacked against a plain cream ground with scattered pale gray speckling at the top. No human figures appear; the design is entirely abstract/decorative, with the circles cropped and layered so they bleed off the edges of the panel. A red seal appears in the lower right corner beside the artist's pencil inscription; "Patterns of my life," a 2007 woodblock print by Daryl Howard, is titled fittingly for its dense field of interlocking patterned discs.
