The stereo of the tree with mul­ti­col­ored foliage below was my orig­i­nal inspi­ra­tion for this series: it has so many patch­es of var­i­ous col­ors that when you mir­ror cer­tain slices, dif­fer­ent col­ors abut one anoth­er, and it winds up look­ing like a pas­tiche of many trees rather than just one. I expand­ed this con­cept of inter­nal con­trast with the stereo of yel­low and pur­ple flow­ers, and then tried a more homoge­nous hybrid with the tulips. Mean­while, I always love hon­ey­bees and most oth­er insects, so decid­ed to high­light one and its take­off run­way in col­or. Final­ly, with the stereo self-por­traits, I am attempt­ing to vis­cer­al­ly con­vey how my new read­ing glass­es (my first ever) make my head feel!
