In 2007 I began experimenting with two fractal programs, Tierazon and Mind Boggling Fractals, with the intention of producing mandalas. I was soon distracted by the wider possibilities.
Working with fractals is more akin to photography than painting or sculpture. You take your camera out into the street; I take myself into the program. Both require active participation, obviously, but the starting point is in the images that arrive at random.
