I rarely post a lone fractal as opposed to one used compositionally in a painting, but every now and then I stumble upon something which pretty much stupifies me in Mandelbulb. While 99.9% of my time is being spent finishing up details for the show I will have next month at W&L University, I stopped to play a bit and came up with this. Deep in the Amazon, unknown until now and not seen by humans, a vertical forest has evolved. Where unique amazonian species of trees support layers of crystalized strata. Where the limbs of trees metamorphosize into the roots of the next layer, creating a mound of detail and life unimaginable to most humans. Its hard some relatively simple mathematics can create a scene with details down to the animals, insects and crumbling earth.
