After an exploration of geometric morphological forms—the square, the rectangle, the circle, arrays of stripes, lines, and dots—time comes to bring the elements together.  Abstract forms and representations of the Circle & Line series have led to easily recognizable landscapes. Thus, the artist returns to the structural forms of her youth but with the eyes and techniques of maturity.  Solids, intense colors, and geometry, the Bibel hallmark, persists.

Whether or not this morphological branch will extend into further evolved patterns or will become a truncated tributary remains to be seen, but the branching stream has become a river.
