Proximity - The concept of proximity is our mind bringing similar objects together into groups. When we see a number of objects close together, we tend to see them as forming a group unconsciously.
This image shows this principle in a basic way. The right hand side of the image we perceive as spots or circles in a random order, but the image to the left we interpret as a triangle, only because of the way in which there grouped together, there proximity to each other!
The jewellery below is a fun example of what can be done with proximity in jewellery design. She has brought together pencils and shaped them into different designs. The item best showing the gestalt theory being the ring pendant (bottom right)

In this image, what do you see? A tree? A group of people?
Fantastic examples, you have an excellent grasp of these concepts. Please share this with Wedon. I want to eat the pencils pieces!!
