Blending shapes and textures

I recently worked with some pretty smart people on the notion of shapes as textures, and finding ways to blend shapes one into another; much as you might blend together images in PhotoShop. Below are two of my favourite images from that work, made in collaboration with Luiz Velho. Click on either image to see it full size. If you're technologically inclined, you might want to read more about this work in Procedural Shape Synthesis on Subdivision Surfaces.
