—our very own Chris
I confess: This article is somewhat of a cop-out. When confronted with the prospect of introducing my own art, I could only come up with two broad statements about my fractal corpus: First, I like texture. Second, my fractals tend to be multicolored—I rarely work in monochrome, or even in duochrome, or even on one side of the color wheel.
Now, those two things hardly constitute a distinct artistic vision. So naturally, I picked the brains of my fellow bloggers in an effort to approach my art with fresh eyes.
I also think that it may end up being a bit of a turning point for me, but it's difficult to explain how and why while the breakthrough is still going on.
That said, this is not entirely representative of my gallery. It's far more technical than average, far less naturalistic and blended, for instance, but I still thought it was an interesting amalgam of some of my artistic tendencies.
So, how did Chris, Esin, and Travis characterize my style? The general consensus seemed to be that my fractals look earthy and not-very-computerized. Leafing through my gallery and portfolio, I think that's accurate. I'm no good at artistic self-assessment (luckily for you I'll mostly be assessing other people in this blog) but even I can spot my own predilection for creating a fractal that gives away the human aspects of its creation more than the digital ones.
The quote at the top is yours to puzzle out on your own, though.
