Bello found the limonite rocks, commonly known as yellow ochre, in Colorado and Kansas during a trip from the east coast to Taos. The text and drawing on clay are about a rumination on the volcanic activities linking together her artist residency in Taos, the Oregon coast of a subsequent residency, and the Philippine archipelago of her birth. 7,400 miles is the approximate distance between the site where she found the limonite and her childhood hometown.

"Air, Line, Color" is inspired by jewelry with the same title made by multidisciplinary artist, Stephanie Simek, whose necklace of semiprecious stones was akin to a talisman Bello brings with her to all her artist residencies throughout the U.S.
