Mosaic

There are a lot of similarities between this work and the ways in which we conceive of the world around us. Each tile is a solid field, a group of pixels in today's language. The ratios between colors in any field within the portrait are based on the Bezold effect, one of the visual "revolutions" that took place when weavers, limited in pallet by their threads found ways that the eye could mix a series of differing colors into a more full palette. Much like this we try to make clear ideas and inspirations that defy words by mixing meanings of words that we already know, positioning concepts adjacent to one another to gain shades of meaning and trying to introduce information that blends with other ideas into new ways of thinking.
