I am an environmental scientist. A large part of my career has been dedicated to scientific research into the structure of ecosystems and factors that affect them. Quite early on, it became apparent that certain mathematical iterative principles formed geometries that coincided exactly with those found in natural ecosystems. And by ecosystems, I do not mean just plants and animals. The same principles also apply to quantum physics, geology, meteorology and on up to the formation of galaxies. These relationships were championed most publicly by the brilliant mathematician Benoît Mandelbrot, the founder of fractal geometry.
To my mind, the structure of natural ecosystems through application of these iterative processes revealed not only the genius and subtlety of nature but also its incomparable beauty. Â

What a spectacular sight. This has a peaceful and spiritual influence to it. It is like the Angels are gaurding this wonderland. Stan you really do amazing work. I always look forward to your next creation. (I find it hard to express just how wonderful I find your work).

Gorgeous work Stan. This reminds me of what i would think the garden of eden looks like. Your work is always a pleasure to both view and to comment on.
