My Fractal series began a number of years back, originally based on patterns in nature and now can be anything --a jar of paint brushes, a mosh pit at a concert, a classic painting, or even a drain cover. I call it “a series of what ifs.” I start by defining and photographing a texture. I cut that and multiply into four segments and then rotate them. These rotations change the image to become a pattern, progressing over time into multiple derivative steps.
