I came across this contemporary practitioner who did a series of fashion illustrations that relate to my research, especially to principles of Gestalt psychology. 

This image uses the Gestalt principles of similarity and proximity. The similarity in colour, size and shape of the white lines, as well as the proximity of them even though they are sometimes going in different directions, is what leads us to see this collection of separate elements as a single whole.

This image uses the principles of Gestalt theory in a similar way in that the proximity and similarity of the elements in texture, size and shape leads us to view it not only as a whole, but an abstracted human figure. As the object remains incomplete or separated in some aspects, this image could also be argued to rely upon the principle of closure - which is when the human eye automatically "perceives a complete shape by filling in the missing information".
