The spiral pattern that the wires form in this sculpture is called a "God's Eye" by African artists. When I make a sculpture of an African animal I also like to borrow design elements from African artists. Western artists have been borrowing (or stealing) from African artists for decades. Most of the big name 20th century artists did it, such as Henry Moore and Picasso. It would be nice if folks at least aknowledged where they are stealing ideas, as I am doing right now.
