  • This petroglyph of a circle bisected by a straight line is a classic example of the "water glyph" identified by Bob Ford and Dixon Spendlove in their explorations of Anasazi petroglyphs in southern Utah, northern Arizona, and southeastern Nevada. Ford and Spendlove have discovered that such symbols point to and mark water sources.  Did this glyph from Petroglyphs National Monument convey the proximity of the river we know as Rio Grande?

  • Featuring an ornate botanical pattern of leaves and branches, this tesselated digital mosaic has been assembled from 16 iterations of a square "tile" cut from a larger digital photograph of manzanita bushes growing in a forest on the eastern slopes of California's Sierra Nevada mountain range. This image, in contrast with its companions in the "Manzanita" series, displays the primary pattern that its "digital 'seed' tile" created with simple horizontal and vertical mirroring across a canvas. When a first matrix displays visual complexity, as this one does, that produces pleasing instances of pareidolia--optical illusions of faces, creatures, and other meaningful shapes--I play with color, shape, and line matches along offset edges of paired and clustered tiles edges to find alternate mosaic designs.
