Almost all of my computer-generated art is a result of a recursive process. I am fascinated by recursion and the complexity that can be achieved by repeatedly applying a simple transformation to an initial object and changing the parameters at each stage. My Bridges 2010 entries are all variations on the same theme, an iterated function system, but with different parameters and different color assignments.
