Artist's Statement:

Being smitten with Streak of Lightning, I knew where to start when looking for "Inspiration" for this challenge. The brilliance of combining a visually striking pattern with an anchor of the classic nine-patch sealed the deal. I had my idea. Sketching, selecting, cutting, manipulating and piecing was quickly followed by the fun of twisting and turning the rigid pattern into something new. I especially like the end conversation I discovered between the light blues.
