Compound eyes (like all eyes) are amazing. I am always astounded with the beauty and technological finesse Mother Nature provides.
My Florida nature art appears a certain way to myself and other humans but I've always wondered how a butterfly may see one of my linocuts with acrylic featuring Passiflora incarnata.
With a scanner and a little enlightening effort I used a recent block print press with added acrylic pigment to form the basis of the image a compound eye might process. The result was quite interesting. For me too many repetitive patterns become confusing after a while. But I suppose if I had compound eyes I'd get used to the complexity.
As always, I learn so much from Mother nature. And there is still so much to learn.
