Description


Totally wackery. There is no point whatsoever to this image. Attempting to find a point is futile. This was created by simply piling stuff up until it looked cool. I don't consider this art so much as playing around. Art has a point, a purpose, or a portrayed message of some sort. This just looks cool. Granted, that doesn't necessarily differentiate it from my other fractals (most of my other work is not meant to express any particular point either), but given that this was the result of simply tying to make noise as a background texture (one of the few things I still regularly use fractals for...I often use them as textures for designs), as opposed to a carefully crafted neat looking object, I felt a distinction need be made. Perhaps the distinction lies in the fact that with other images, I invest time into tweaking them so they look the way I want them to, so they are a self-expression and therefore have a purpose. But then the same could be said of this, as while I invested little time into it, I do think it looks cool, which might suggest that it has at least a hint of meaning. For those who are still reading (an understandably small number), I don't really have a point with this paragraph or a conclusion, or anything else. But I have work to do, and so I'm not going to get dragged out into trying to make a philosophical point, which could take hours, and arguably produce little advantage (read: point) as very few people would read it anyways. With that in mind, I post this image.

Gnarlies are one of my favourite and this really is splendid. Lovely colouring and feeling to it ;O)

Gnarls are irresistable and fun to play with. Point or no points it's still creativity at work.
