Fractals are self-similar mathematical constructions commonly found throughout nature, from the repetitive branching of tree limbs to the intricate shapes of coastlines. Fractals describe the texture of everyday life, and they present an alternative way of seeing the objects around us. As a metaphor for this lensing effect, I have created a series of sculpted prints where a flat digital print is systematically folded and fragmented into a three-dimensional grid. This act of deformation reshuffles the original image, and it blurs the boundary between the virtual world of digital information and the real world of rocks, rivers, and oceans. I think these pieces also read as works of data visualization, without being entirely clear what the data refer to.
