Statement
I find beauty in the way that relatively simple mathematical equations can give rise to complexity, and I render this complexity as images. In this exhibition I use techniques from my paper "Extending Mandelbox Fractals with Shape Inversion". The Mandelbox is a class of escape-time fractals that use a conditional combination of reflection, spherical inversion, scaling, and translation to transform a point under iteration in n-dimensional Euclidean space. For this artwork I use a 4D version of the Mandelbox algorithm, which I modified to replace spherical inversion with a more generalized type of inversion that allows non-spherical inversive shapes, thus enabling exploration of new kinds of fractals.
