May 13 is built around everyday visual forms that become more interesting once the board starts to separate. Paper Trail is the accessible group, connecting stamp, postcard, paper, and sealed envelope through written messages. Handled Tools asks for a functional link across different rooms: hammer, shovel, whisk, and paintbrush all become useful through a handle. Beam Makers moves from object to effect, because flashlight, projector, lighthouse, and sun all send light outward. Ring Forms is the hardest group, tying wheel, wreath, donut, and tape roll by their circular band or opening.
