Jewel of Forest

Artist's Statement

Inspired by the foliage and the flora of the rain forest of the state of Washington. One of the centerpieces of the artwork is the fern feature. The ferns are the characteristic of the all-year-round rain. The rain always brings up the scent of the wooded forest. Every piece in the artwork reminds me of every hike through the wood.

Technical Information

The algorithm uses to create the fern is from this procedure below:
