A new direction: backwards.

I've decided I was putting too much focus on the concentric circles, and I didn't know how to get out of it. I wanted to grow, but I seemed to be growing trite, and overdone, and repetitive. I've been struggling to figure out what to do, where to develop towards.
And it hit me, go back to the point when I didn't feel repetitive. When I was treating the circles like a secondary feature, like an accent to the greater whole, that told a story. I used to be all about dualities. The circles representing something natural, versus something else. Juxtaposition.
I know that I've been keeping that in there a bit, but it has become the secondary feature. I want to go back to content, and keep the form secondary.
In the meanwhile, heres what I've been doing...
