Shape Tiles

Retile the frame into geometric tiles that sample the source.

Retiling a photograph into geometric cells is a constructive graphic move, closer to quilt and truss than to blur. Each tile samples the source so colour survives inside a new structure.

Tile size and shape set the architecture of the surface.
