| Title | Anasazi Suns, by Michael Sussna |
| Artist | Sussna, Michael |
| Description | Fractal digital imagery is a relatively young yet already rich field. Though different from traditional art, this digital medium also demands a well-developed aesthetic sense. Mastery of an ever-evolving tool set permits results perfecting form, color, texture, and composition. Anasazi Suns is from a project that explores the interaction of two Ultra Fractal formulas, Centiolier and Doodads. Once I was done creating the image and meditating on a title, the overall effect suggested Native American art, both in the surface patterning and in color. |
| Medium | Digital print on canvas, 24" x 30" |
| About the Artist | Michael has a Ph.D. in Computer Science and Cognitive Science from the University of California, San Diego. Michael began developing software in 1973 and creating fractal art in 1985. Michael is also a published poet and has done original theoretical work in number theory, multi-valued logic, physical chemistry, semantics-based information retrieval, and the statistical analysis of baseball. Michael explores undiscovered worlds of exotic scenery filled with exquisite shapes in colorful profusion. This journey into the wilds of magical fractal imagery is made possible by and is a reflection of the beauty of mathematics. These intricate designs serve as snapshots capturing panoramas from the limitless uncharted realms of inner space and often feature spirals speaking spiritually to us of infinity. Michael calls his geometric yet organic results "photoreal abstracts." |
