Powerful Pattern

I have always been drawn to pattern. It makes the eye dance across a plain. It creates a fantasy world, especially when used with portraiture. When a “character” is surrounded by pattern, they exist in a whole different concept of space. Patterns create a different rhythm, a winding path for our eyes to follow, a beautiful rabbit hole to tunnel us deeper into an image. Enjoy!
