In 1971, this was a very radical approach to color photography. The image is complex and characterized by slivers of color that appear to move, twist, turn and overlap. Natural forms take on a kaleidoscope pattern with simultaneous chaotic and spontaneous patters of very flat color. Funk sees a tree not as a verdant presence but with almost the day glow, psychedelic colors that were popular during the Hippie\\u002F Psychedelic period of the late 1960's and early 1970's
