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

The thumbnail suggested ancient Egyptian structures or wall paintings, and on closer examination did not disappoint. I see the essence of that genre, and really like this as a stand alone piece in a gallery. Really quite interesting!!

I am impressed that you develop your own algorithms directly. Maybe that is the secret for the wonderful effects that you achieve, as is the case with this "boxing" one. It does make one think of the inside of a temple, as others have said. I am starting to prepare a video of your work too. Let's see who finishes first! I think I will include this image on it... We shall see. Monica
