AbstractThis research project investigated the aesthetics of plants patterning formation through
the exploration of design elements and principles based on the concept of repetition
and difference (similarity and variation). The research project aimed to explore the
concept of repetition and difference within the context of natural plants’ organic
patterning mechanism and to reinterprets the phenomenon of repetition and difference
as agents in unifying the element order and chaos within the plants' organic patterning
system, creating a balanced and harmoniousformation. The key elements in the
research project consist of organic motifs of magnification, the proportional ratio of
Fibonacci, colour harmonies, rhythmic organisations and the illusions of depth. The key
artists involved in this research are Yayoi Kusama, GiuliaRicci, Richard Anuazkiewicz,
Andy Goldsworthy, Claude Monet, Georges Seurat, Sol LeWitt, Richard Deacon,
Peter Barnitz, Albert Yonathan Setyawan, and James Turrel.....
