Illusions

An illusion is a distortion of the senses, which can reveal how the human brain organizes and interprets stimulation. Throughout this series, I explore visual optical illusions using patterned fabrics and simple wrapped forms. The viewer’s eyes and mind are forced to reconcile the subtle shifts in pattern between the background and the wrapped objects. This tension between the three-dimensional objects and the two dimensional plane create a visual experience that is at once entertaining and slightly challenging.
