Ovoids
September 26, 2014I was out on the ocean the other day, fishing with friends. The sky was overcast and the water was calm.
Looking down I noticed some amazing patterns created by the light refracting in the water. Those circular, bulls-eye-looking patterns, sometimes called ‘ovoids’, appear identical to certain motifs prevalent in Coastal First Nations art. In fact, I’m almost certain they’re the original inspiration.
