TQS Puzzle: "Abstract Brain" by Ann Shaw

Ann writes about her quilt, Abstract Brain, "The logo for the Krasnow Institute (a brain and cognition research Institute with which I am professionally affiliated in as an anthropologist) is a line drawing abstraction of a brain. I loved the challenge of translating this logo into a quilt. Based primarily on fence rail blocks, I matched each block to the grid of the logo’s design. Presented to the founding director, this quilt is now on permanent exhibit in the lobby of the Institute."

This block is a bit unusual. Depending on how you look at it and how you change the values, it takes on a completely different look. What do you think it's called? Play the game and find out.
