Patricia starts with one idea, on which makes a number of variants. That idea can be a word or a sentence or image that she sees or hear in her surroundings. A word, a detail can be enough to create an entire world. Patricia tries to make that world visible and tangible. Patricia continues working until her concept has been executed as she desires.
