Fractals: Nature’s Geometry
A fractal has been defined as “a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole,”[1] a property called self-similarity. While fractals are a mathematical construct, they are found in nature, which has led to their inclusion in artwork. They are useful in medicine, soil mechanics, seismology, and technical analysis.

I started reading up on fractals during the early stages of courting my wife.
She and her family experienced the devastation of Hurricane Katrina.

Symbols of Grief and Suffering
These are the Ndebele people
These were their oppressors.
And this is how the Ndebele tribe express their sorrow.
I have always held the opinion that in order to be break down creative barriers, you have to be either super rich or really poor and oppressed. You can’t be inbetween , because Suburbia life doesn’t encourage challenging notions. The Ndebele people are a great testament to this theory.

A Superficial Homage to Joseph Beuys
Oh Joseph Beuys,
Sure he fictionalized his biography, and maybe performance pieces with coyotes aren’t your thing, but come on… he made cool shit with felt.
I get it… his work was full of rhetoric and shamanist jargon. Hang a gray suit on a wall… and I can look pass all that.
He does weird things with hares. And? He wears cool hats…

Tin Tin
Oh Tin Tin, my favourite blonde hair blue eyed colonialist adventurer.
He helped build my boyhood views of White people- globe trotting do gooders that kick villanous ass in different exotic landscapes.
Of course today I know better to hold such sentiments. I, however, still have a soft spot for he and his white wire fox terrier.
I haven’t seen much of Tin Tin since I moved to the states, so there was no hesitation on my part to snatch these Baule colonial figures found in the Upper East Side.
And when I thought this experience was enought to tickle my nostalgic senses till the end of time, Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson decided to drop this
Spielberg, you better not f*** this up.
