It's random, but then again, that's the point."

Vote_For_Me

I just entered a competition for a carpet line with Mannington Commercial. Here are my entries...You can go to the website and vote for me. There is a people's choice category so vote for me and vote often!
TITLE: Pattern_Between
DESCRIPTION: A designers role is to take inspiration from the mundane and create something extraordinary. It's the way the light hits a building, the sequence of events that make up a pattern or the space between two objects that give way to a shape that is new. The pattern between is inspired by exactly that, the space between the trees. It's about reducing the image down to the most simple elements the line and what exists between it the void while still maintaining the sense of the forest.

TITLE: Sprouting_Change 
DESCRIPTION: I am fascinated by the autonomy that occurs in nature. A field of purple flowers will suddenly sprout a yellow one, a branch of a tree will suddenly grow away from the light instead of toward it and a path of ants will suddenly decide to deviate because one ant chose to be the change. The pattern of sameness that is suddenly broken by the change agent is a great source of inspiration for me. This pattern is a simplified illustration of this change that occurs in nature. 
TITLE: GMO
DESCRIPTION: Genetically Modified Organisms have become a part of our lives as americans whether we realize it or not. For me, I kept hearing the buzz words and started seeking out information. What I discovered was appalling and forced me to change my diet completely. This pattern is an attempt to make graphic sense of the food industy and how it affects our lives. I imagine that a genetically modified organism looks somehting like this pattern.
