Repeating Pattern Artwork: Mindscapes

Each of these three black-and-white images started with a single photograph, all captured using a macro lens. I enjoy exploring ideas by mirroring images to create repeating pattern artworks.

The workflow is entirely manual with no AI tools involved. It often takes several iterations to achieve a design I’m happy with. The crafting process itself brings me joy, and the resulting patterns frequently surprise me.

This series is called Mindscapes. The first photo is of a garlic clove with its outer peel intact. The second features a  Pterocarpus indicus seed pod, and the final image began with a photo of mushroom gills.

I explore and document urban and natural environments, often focusing on reflections, shadows, and patterns. My camera walks allow me to capture found objects and scenes that tell stories through everyday details. In my journal, I share these explorations and offer a glimpse into my process.

    My name is Oliver Butcher and I am 15yrs old. I am studying photography at school and I have chosen you as one of the photographers I want to research. I am very interested in the photographs you took of feathers. I collect feathers and have photographed them in black and white just like you. If you would like to see one I can send it.
