Title	Fractal Tree No.2, by Robert Fathauer
Artist	Fathauer, Robert
Description	This is a series of black-and-white digital artwork constructed by graphically iterating an arrangement of a small portion of a photograph of a tree, or a bush in the case of No. 4. The original photograph was digitally altered to allow smooth joining of the smaller copies. In addition to being scaled down, the three smaller copies, added with each iteration, are all rotated by varying angles, and in No. 2, No. 3, and No. 5 the image is reflected as well. A sufficiently large number of iterations is performed so that the image is indistinguishable from the image that would result after an infinite number of iterations. In this particular design, the iteration rules are chosen to prevent overlap of the branches at any point.
Medium	Digital Prints on paper, 13” x 17”
About the Artist	Dr. Fathauer is a researcher with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory on a part-time basis, as well as a Research Professor at Arizona State University.
