  • 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.

  • The still, cypress-stained dark water of Corkscrew Swamp has appealing reflective qualities.  Reminders of blue sky and white clouds may sometimes be seen more easily along the forest floor than through tangled branches directly overhead.

  • Acoma people built multi-story houses that included a sacred space, or kiva, on the ground floor. When Spanish conquerors attempted to eradicate Puebloan religious beliefs and practices, kivas were hidden behind high walls or transformed into windowless rooms accessible only by ladder.  Straight pine logs used to build ladders had to be hauled from the forested slopes of Mt. Taylor, many miles away.  This ladder's worn rungs, along with a family's firewood piled nearby, testify to its continued use.
