What makes one set of lines, shapes, and tubes artistic and another not? I stood for the longest time staring at this collection of Hypogymia, wondering what it was that had attracted me. The left side is a little bigger than the right and has that one long stem sticking far down. Was it this pattern with the shadows behind it? Or did that drool of Usnea curling together give something magical?
