Meet the maker - Phillip Rees

 

'Spirals' by Phillip Rees created for the 'Unfolding' exhibition.

Phillip says "Similar patterns at increasingly smaller scales are called self-similarity, also known as unfolding symmetry.

I came across this reference when looking at fractals as an idea for design. The spirals that form this piece are not true fractals but pleasing nevertheless.

Spirals is a combination of hand and machine embroidery enhanced with mixed media"
