A Tribute to Eliot Porter
_
The essence of beauty in
nature multiplies in disorder: in this case, the blotching of green lichen on
tree trunks or flakes of gold found on the trunk of a gumbo limbo
tree.
Scientists today are discovering uncanny kinds of structures more subtle and intricate than any sculptor might arrange. They are beginning to recognize the order that emerges from pure disorder. These images are a tribute to Eliot Porter who has taught us to see patterns, relations, and interactions present in nature’s chaos.
