Jack Cleveland, Lifesprings Fractile
The Fractals were generated in Photoshop using the Fraxplorer filter in Kai's Power Tools 5 filter set. The LifeSprings fractal was created by visually exploring the progression of the Mandelbrot "Mandelcube" fractal set modified with a Julia set "Juliacube" variation, applying a Mosaic Bevel and a specific staggered gradient, in two layers. The top layer was manipulated using selective subtraction tools to provide visual access to the bottom layer. These layer were then enhanced using Photoshop styling tools. And fractals are only a part of it, but I DO get into reflection and modified repetition of patterns. I think that this relates to the cyclical nature of the patterns of our lives and nature and that learning to recognize these patterns as they change and fade but remain the same can be applied in both our social/psychological space as well as our physical world.
