Jon McCormack ~ Morphogenesis
McCormack's Morphogenesis series features a series of digital images of plant life that have been created using software that is based on biological models of development. A development model has been created based on the growth and form of selected Australian plants. Theses rules could be referred to as digital DNA, which defines the development and growth of a a plant in a simulated environment. The DNA can be subject to genetic splicing where by parts of DNA are intermixed by two or more species. This allows simulated plant life to evolve based on aesthetic or other subjective criteria.
The above digital imagery displays an analogous colour scheme of vibrant purples red's and pinks, with complimentary light yellow in the pollen of the flower. The flower displays straight curved and zig zagged lines. Repeated zig zagged lines created texture in the flower. Monochromatic colour's are used to create form and show tone. Blurred point is used through out the flower with small refined circles for the pollen.
