Artist Statement:
These images are intended to
serve two distinct purposes:
first to elicit a response
from the viewer, and second,
to assist the viewer in
recognizing the mechanism
which established that
response. With very few
exceptions, these images are
mathematically created. They
result from computational
renderings of equations, their
appearance absent forethought
or artistic device.
Algorithms, formulas,
variables, and their numerical
values, processed by many
different applications are
their creative source. MERELY
PATTERNS, not photographs,
drawings, abstractions, or
representations of any kind,
they are not intentional
designs, bearers of
information about the natural
world, reflections of ideas,
examples of style, or
meaningful in any way. Yet the
viewer often responds as if
they were. And that is the
point. HOW easily these
"no-things" are seen or felt
as "some-things"! Faces,
environments, Japanese
block-prints, plants, flowers,
landscapes, movie theaters, I
like it, I hate it,
interesting, boring, and so
forth, all emanating from the
meaningless distinction drawn
between a "zero" and a "one".
THUS, if the viewer is so
inclined, these images may
both serve the aesthetic
purposes of art and as the
visual equivalents of koans.

Artist Reviews:
Received the larger images
yesterday. Awesome! Have them

breathe. The resolution is
great, damn great. Much, much
thanks.
