Image Statement: This piece was inspired by intricate patterns found in nature: The cellular structure of plants. Vermicular patterns created by insects. Fossilized textures of oceanic creatures preserved eternally in stone. The structure of skin cells as seen under a microscope. Take a moment to appreciate the world of microcosmic patterns that construct the world around us.
