I have been familiar with the Mandlebrot Set for a while now but this is the best and most enticing example I have seen 'in the flesh' - much better than computer generated examples. What will you do with the pics?

I loved realising that there were mathematicians out there not only wanting to describe mathematically a cube, or prism, but that sought to find equations which could describe the shape of trees and other natural phenomena. I am fascinated by your work with fractals and am so disappointed that I don't speak Spanish so that I could watch your video interview and hear what you had to say about arriving at your artwork. Did you just run with the idea conceptually or did you actually use the mathematics and colour assignation technique to draw out these images? Thank you for you comment and for sharing you work on fractals.susan bowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05039648113517753032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2524845044750483894.post-56045562244580162592012-08-14T14:42:26.172+10:002012-08-14T14:42:26.172+10:00Maybe I should never clean up behind myself ... lo...Maybe I should never clean up behind myself ... looking through my posts I see ones of paint dregs dried in the bottom of containers, paint stains, marks made from drying rusting sheets of paper ...... all very beautiful in their own right. At least with photography we can capture the momentary gifts that either nature, or our lack of cleaning gift us before the moment changes, or we clean up!susan bowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05039648113517753032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2524845044750483894.post-13723276212274257702012-08-14T14:38:57.004+10:002012-08-14T14:38:57.004+10:00Yep- when I re visit my posts and comments I find ...Yep- when I re visit my posts and comments I find it is very often the dregs, the paint stains, the happenstance that draws most comment!

If you ever manage for find the television programme on Fractals with the mathematicians and physicists it is well worth having a copy. You will be enthralled. I watched about six times - and still most of it went through to the keeper. The visual elements hung tight and will be in my minds eye forever.susan bowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05039648113517753032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2524845044750483894.post-87751804709768192622012-08-14T14:33:57.841+10:002012-08-14T14:33:57.841+10:00It is strange how so many of us can respond so eag...It is strange how so many of us can respond so eagerly to images of rust, decay, patterns etc. Wonderful when nature puts up gifts like that for us.

Je...What beautiful finds and gorgeous pictures too! Jennifer is right, Mother Nature gave you a gift.<br /><br />I spent four full years working with fractals till I finally felt I needed to go less virtual and much more physical with my work. You don't really need to understand the mathematics (I don't), just lots of patience and interest to play with a fractal-generating programme. I still have my fractal site up: http://www.wix.com/fractaline/dotersimarinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08898441311620432865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2524845044750483894.post-61454856279017004402012-08-13T23:54:51.787+10:002012-08-13T23:54:51.787+10:00Susan....most fascinating!

I only know a fraction about fractals, but it is such an interesting notion....especially how mathematics underlies everything. I wish I had more of a scientific side to better grasp it all. Thanks for sharing your find....and FIona's right...what a reward for not cleaning up!!

I oohed and aahed over each photo...especially those with the sun working its magic...and was reminded of the patterns in sand left by the receding tide on a trip a couple of years ago. Then I read on and wouldn't you know...you'd written about it! Haven't watched or read about fractals, but just might have to now.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing the photos.
