Again I have to remind you that it is very hard to preserve the textures and their fine detail at this significantly down-sampled and compressed size. As it is this is beginning to be a bit harsh, unlike the print. But I think you can see some of the movement and the sense of light. A fractal based tapestry, where the warp and weave are irrelevant. Or the warp is vertical. Sort of. As haphazard as this might appear, it is anything but. Evidence of life’s continuous struggle toward the light.
I just finished reworking and printing this file. This is a significant improvement over where I left it last time around.
