p4m symmetry groups have 4-fold rotation symmetry on mirror axes.

Clothed Life Drawings

Transformations based on photographs from my bookshelves.

A complex transformation of the "Grasshopper" Clock which can been seen opposite Kings College in Cambridge - exploring the idea of time at the quantum level, where space and time are unlikely to one simply-connected.

The uncertainty principle says that you cannot simultaneously know the exact position and velocity of an object. Seems a good description of cats.

More experiments, using original photographs as source maps in complex-function transformations.

Revisiting some early work, with a new twist.

More experiments with superimposing motifs on a chaotic track.

These images simulate the effect of refraction through a water surface on which raindrops are falling.

We start with a photograph of leaf litter and then progressively transform it into more abstract images.

As with all my galleries, these are reduced resolution versions of high resolution images intended for large scale printing, and copyright Michael McEllin.

This series shows a transformation of an original image of bees on a silver-foliage flower, illustrating a sequence of progressively more extreme transformations towards an ultimately abstract outcome.

Cats don't like other cats .... but this one may have problems.
