About this Collection:
Morgan Cardwell’s “Lamella” explores the intrinsic connection between humans and the natural world as expressed through fractal patterns, natural imagery, and topographic textiles. Taking inspiration from the forms and patterns of fungi, flora, fluidity, and land contours, this collection seeks to explore what makes us human: our emotions. Empathy, awe, and curiosity act as a lens to view our interconnection with the world around us. - Rights
