Bittersweet Snowflakes

From the artist's "American Bittersweet" series, this surface design emerged from tessellating a hexagon, manually assembled by tessellating a triangular photo segment, and then cutting from that matrix a rectangular digital "tile" that would permit orderly mirroring to produce a 4-side matrix. The bittersweet vine's curling, twisting branch and twig structure and berry ornamentation create the crystaline outlines and laciness of this image's six-pointed snowflake patterns. Converting the image to black-and-white facilitated recoloring it to suggest snow's affinity for blue light. Image size = 27" x 31" @ 300 dpi
