Plant In what you Breathe In

"The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see Nature all ridicule and deformity, and some scarce see Nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, Nature is Imagination itself." - William Blake, 1799, [...]

While researching fractals today I came across a "software/aesthetic development project" called "spore" at fine art studio Image Savant - owned and operated by a Richard Bailey.This is one of the images from the project, though ’Dance’ is my title, not his.

This doesn’t mean I don’t like working with [...]

Simplicty on the other side…priceless"
– Einstein
With thanks to Greg Blythe from HP for the gift - and for believing that my role is "getting you to the other side"
