Description:
Artist Statement: "The term "fractal" was first used by mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot in 1975, based on the Latin word "fractus" that means "broken". The pieced background is overlayed by painted circles (acrylic paint and alcohol based ink), machine appliqued, organza and silk elements (fused), the layers are enhanced by the choices of quilting designs. Embellished with 30,000 Swarovski Crystals."
