The tunnel effect was originally going to be simple concentric circles in fibonacci sequence

but I decided to make it a bit more interesting by adding another layer of lines through the points to create a diamond effect


As I was colouring it in the idea occured to me that instead of colouring in all the sections I could fill in the gaps with a hexagonal gridwork so as to represent the construct of the matrix beneath the surface and the expression of the flower expanding outwards from a single point, creating the illusion of depth as the flower appears to project out of the 2D canvas towards the observer in a 3D fibonacci spiral tunnel effect.

I realised this concept as the basis for everything in nature some time ago but I had never come across such a beautiful obvious expression of it until I was looking through the 'Geometry within nature' thread and found this picture:

See the flower on the surface of the water as the framework on which it grows holds it in place in the depths beneath.

In the end I decided to colour it all in anyway.

The finished piece displayed on my wall beneath the Marley Freedom flag with a dash of blue light for psychedelic effect.
