Observational Photography: Moss

I have narrowed down my research into nature to moss. I have found moss to be extremely interesting, as it is made up of such tiny pieces. Each one is different but they are very similar and there are so many of them making up a larger piece. 

Moss has also got a variety of different shapes, colours and textures, most of which are ignored or unnoticed.

Observational Photography: Geometry in nature

For my semester two project, I started by taking some photos of geometry in nature, especially sequences and symmetry. I picked this as a starting point as I really like making my art from observation, and bringing nature to peoples attention. At the start of a project, I enjoy being quite broad, to let myself go in different directions without being pinned down to a very narrow or specific theme.

 I want to look at repeating shapes, but also how these slightly change in nature and each one is ever so slightly different. This will link with the idea of sequence.
