In order to see the fuller picture, you must go around it in a full circle. Do I see abstract objects communicating with one-another, or, do I see pre-historic symbols of our early human ancestry? Cave paintings were painted on cave walls, but modern urbanisation means that maybe the wall (or even the shed) is the place to share the news?
