Artist Statement: The design grew out of a series of sketches I made in Corel Draw.  I chose the colors to create the illusion that the shapes were partially transparent. When the piecing was finished my husband commented that there were lots of parabola shapes in it.  I decided to invent a title that combined parabolas and ellipses and called it Parabollipses.
