So one can be satisfied that a quick screen rendition has captured everything of interest in a fractal. But this is not always the case. Sometimes there is absolutely no hint of what lurks behind the fractal surface. This was the case with the Chaos series. The images were there, but they took a lot of searching.
Fractals are a serendipitous art.
While one can anticipate the kind of image that a particular formula will produce, based on one s experience with the same or similar formulas, there is absolutely no way to anticipate what the final image will look like. This is one of the great mysteries of fractal art and one of its great glories. This is what keeps me coming back to fractal drawing day after day, night after night. One never knows what one will find. I am a kind of fractal objectivist.
