Butterfly Effect

Print. 2007.

This artwork both resembles a butterfly in its shape and is an homage to Edward Lorenz, a pioneer of chaos theory and the originator of the concept of the butterfly effect.

This form comes from a virtual mathematical world that I explore using the computer and custom software. Art and mathematics – the right brain and the left – are inextricably linked in this work, which depends on mathematics, yet simultaneously illuminates and unravels its beauty.
