Description

More work with negative displacements. Much of my inspiration comes from the images sent to Earth by the HiRISE camera aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. This probe, having the power to resolve features only a few meters across has sent to Earth amazingly detailed pictures of the Martian landscape. Though I will probably never be able to faithfully duplicate many of those landforms, they serve to prove that naturally occurring forces have sculpted fantastic shapes on the surface of Mars, the likes of some that have no analogy on Earth. And that is the root of my inspiration. You can see why for yourself at http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ Thanks for looking in!
