I started playing with fractal programs because I thought the fractals looked beautiful, mysterious and infinite - or so they seemed - and I am experimenting a lot with different formulae to see what happens. Like any other art-making, it's fun to take chances. In photoshop I created a kaleidoscope/mandala of my favorites and decided to call this series "Fractalas" Certain types of fractals reminded me of designs in fabric, so I grouped them according to the designs..
