In the nature patter the casia bush found in the Sonora Desert inspires 'casia', particularly the foam of yellow blossoms on the branches of the bush in the spring.
The nature pattern, 'poinsettia' takes the idea of the leaves overlapping. Each plan centers the arc that create the leaves. The overlapping curves for the red leaves. As they are closer to the center of the plant, the leaves become darker, overlapping more.
The number '6' is incorporated in this figure-ground study. The '6' is flipped and mirrored. The spaces between them filled in to complete the column.
In the figure ground study of the letter 'K', the letter is copied and rotated into pinwheels. The exterior perimeter is emphasized with two lines. Each is stacked to creates a column and offset from the column next to it to create the pattern.
