Cool Pool I: Psychedelic Kaleidoscopic Fractal Planetary – Etsy
The Cool Pools are my most deliberate attempt at depicting some aspect of chaos theory. In this case fractals. They aren’t really fractal of course, any more than the works I call “Fractals” are, or Rabbit Dreams. But there are three or four different scales of mirror images of the central image within and surrounding the central image. Thus implying, if not truly achieving, a certain recursiveness. After three or four miniaturizations, the image pixilates beyond recognition.
Consider it a non-fractal work inspired by fractals. I call them Cool Pools because they remind me of nuclear control rods in spent fuel pools. Fukushima (as in my Rabbit Dreams) again doffing its exploding hat. Not that I know what control rods and spent fuel pools look like.
