Yesterday&#8217;s work was simple and sparse, but today&#8217;s is more about abundance. As you can see, abundance doesn&#8217;t have to be complicated. In fact, abundance is an easily visible proliferation of one thing, which in this case is a series of revealed extrusions. The draw to this comes from the impact of textural contrast&#8211;busy visual texture against a smooth and solid visual texture.<\/p>\n<p>The effect is so strong here that the same busy versus quiet application can be presented with different color combinations or forms, and you&#8217;ll still have a similar feel and impact. You can see what I mean simply by visiting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/37203469@N02\/with\/13838356633\/\" target=\"_blank\">Frank&#8217;s Flickr photostream <\/a>where he has several
