Description
Algorithms affect our social standing, our business life, the way we move through the day. I began to think about algorithms in nature, how many petals on the daisy, the murmuration of starlings, the way crystals grow, how the bee creates the honeycomb. You may connect with this algorithm on many levels. Perhaps as the classic grandmother's flower garden quilt pattern, a volleyball, floor tiles, the shape of the pencil, but we must give credit where credit is due, nature. Mother Nature has been using hexagons in her designs since the dawn of time. Snowflakes, snake scales, pineapple skin, the shell pattern on the turtle, and our beloved honeycomb. Hundreds of hand-cut and painted pieces of paper came together to create this piece.
About this Artist
Sarah Brown-Millspaw
Born in a log cabin in rural Pennsylvania, self-taught artist, Sarah Brown-Millspaw has been fascinated by nature and art since day one. Sarah now resides on a small farm outside of Westfield, New York where she spends her days painting, gardening, and planting over 600 trees to restore the balance of nature on her 8 acres of former pastured farmland. Passionate about nature, animals, and the joys of childhood, these themes often surface in her work. In recent years, turning her watercolor paintings into surface patterns and fabric designs has become an integral part of her creative process.
