It's called pareidolia. When you see things that aren't there, but yet they are there. I incorporate this common brain wiring effect we all possess into much of my work, intentionally. I've written about it and explained what's happening a quite a few times. If you take a close look at nearly all of my work, the image will often paint itself into something new. The second time you look, you might see something else.

I do wood carvings. When driftwood, root, branch fall into my hands, I deal with pareidolia. This helps to find new images in the tree. It has become a habit for me.
I am pareidolia :-)))

That's the best way to carve. I do it too!

by the way ... I don’t know how to draw ... but if I took up this business ... if I started to paint with paints of different colors ... Max Lusher’s interpretations for his test of color choices ... no no ... I didn’t say nothing to you
