This Gallery is
all about fractal heros. Benoit Mandelbrot coined
the term fractal in the mid 70's. Soon fractal
art became a passion as rendered pictures were so
beautiful. We honor Mandelbrot's observation
that everyday objects such as coastlines
"Chocolate Coast" ,
snowflakes, clouds, leaves
"Fractal Forest",
and mountain ranges are described by fractal
geometry.
Fractals create rendered pictures by seemingly infinite
iterations of formulas that contain complex numbers.
Much has been written of these fractal formulas and
the men that devised them, symbolized here by the
Fractal Library... "Sierpinski's
Carpet"
"The Julia Set"
and "Koch's Snowflake".
When combining fractal formulas and the force of computer
generation, many patterns develop. Sections
of self-similarity, the trademark of a fractal,
are found in "Butterfly
Wing" "Bottom Fish" "Cubes",
"DancingJugs", "Green Spiral", "Autumn
Leaves", "Christmas Boot", and
"Red Satin" and
"Fern".
