I wanted to replicate and play with a sense of three-dimensional texture by overlaying moire patterns once again. Building off of one of the assignments, I thought it would be nice to replicate fabric, and drew inspiration from lace dresses (see below). For the sake of contrast, the background is black, but I’d love to see this extended into a variety of more complex patterns in the future.
