Living Systems, Pareidolia sub-series

Pareidolia in Blue

The mind assembles the field, the matriline does the same.
Pareidolia in Blue by Victoria Zeder: large blue painting with gold leaf, thread, and encaustic, faces emerging from the field

The largest painting in the series. Pareidolia: the cognitive habit by which the brain organizes ambiguous fields into recognizable figures. The painting proposes that the matriline operates by the same mechanism at the scale of generations: a tendency to recognize, against the noise of inheritance, the traits that have already worked. The image changes as you move.
