Winter Growth at Twin Lakes
As a side effect of not registering for the tessellation course I wanted to take at VCU I’ve been thinking a lot about visual patterns, especially as they might translate to something like quilting or weaving. Winter growth is great for seeing patterns, and this winter was tremendously forgiving for growing things.
This summer I’d like to start translating these into weaveable tapestry designs, possibly using lichen as dyes for the project.
For far more articulate thinking on design and nature, see Nervous System. They have a great post on fungus and lichen with lovely photos.
