Symmetry

On Sunday I made this simple prints using acrylic paint and the good old folding paper trick. I really like the results and am going to look at symmetrical patterns as a way of making prints but somehow incorporate animal skin textures into them. The overall underlying thought is that patterns, repeats and grids are everywhere in nature.

Today I went to the Damien Hirst exhibition at the Tate Modern. I noticed the butterfly wings are symmetrical although it's not really an animal I particularly want to study during this project.
