The concept behind beauty from Chaos, and Imager-Imagined is that nature constantly creates beauty in the world around us. Nature creates that beauty in a random process, sometimes called evolution. It has been shown that a landscape or flower produced using fractal mathematics (a part of chaos theory) can produce an image that is indistinguishable from a real landscape or flower.  So, when a photographer photographs a flower or landscape or anything else, they are, in a real sense photographing the results of a random process. That is a stretch logically, but conceptually true. 

​

In my abstract photography, I am allowing the material and the environment to interact with my actions and then selecting from the results to attempt to produce something beautiful. As an example, if I drop paint into a liquid the resulting pattern is caused partly by my choice of color and volume, but also by hydrodynamics, temperature differences and gravity along with other things. Some of my images are produced of exactly way. Those few inputs can create a wide variety of images. 

​

Changing materials, and technics adds more options, and to add even more possibilities my emotions and moods affect my choices and decision in post processing. As a result I sometimes look at images that are months or even years old, which I thought held no interest and find that they hold great potential. The only difference is that passage of time and changes in how I look and the image. 

​

I have chosen not to title my works or add descriptions. They are not abstracts of something, but "pure" abstracts. I often talk to people about a image. They will quickly tell me what they see in it. It rare is similar to what I see or what the next viewer will see. To add a title or description would change the viewer experience and I do not want to interfere with that.
