Description
From a square "tile" cut from a digital photograph of the spotted and swirled leaves of the tropical Calathea "Makoyana" plant, this tesselated digital collage emerges, teasing the viewer with its optical illusions of spiders, tigers, vines, and foliage. The tesselation process of horizontal and vertical mirroring included vertical displacment of the "leafy" edges; this action created the "diamond" borders on either side of the "tiger" medallions while color manipulation shifted the original greens and browns to more eye-catching reds and golds. This mosaic is better displayed with the vertical orientation that reveals the calathea jungle's hidden "creatures."
