As a painter, I am always looking to make visible the inner world of dreams, meditation, emotion. Fractals come closer to representing that world than any of the other graphic arts I have explored.

I take the view, however debatable, that nothing is art that has not been fashioned by the hand and mind of a sentient being. Computers are tools with which to create, but computers in themselves are not the artists. Similarly, generated fractals in themselves may be fascinating images; but to become art, in my view, they require an artist to take hand and mind to them.

I take one or more generated images and cut, paste, distort, add, subtract--in short, I play with them--until, like my paintings, they wordlessly tell me that they are complete.
