Fractal Knits. Infinite Dimensions...

I havent made a post for ages!
just been very busy with school and looking at other peoples blogs....
Not a whole heap has been happening in life; winter, school, being cold...
but! I have moved house which has been interesting. Having a house warming this weekend and not very
organised for it at all. We have mulled wine recipe/plan, though. However, it called for brandy and I bought a
spicy sherry. Not sure if this is something worth experimenting with.
I've been working on some knit pieces that are based on fractal patterns, in particular, computer based fractal patterns made on the program 'Fractal Domains'. Its available on mac (probably on p.c too...)

Below: a fractal pattern generated from 'Fractal Domains'



A really fun program. Inspiring for constructing textile structures.
Below are some projects I'm currently working on based on these patterns.

Nintendo is king

'Tasmanian Story'

I found this game today at game traders. It is awesome. I really have no idea how to play it, but has 'Waltzing Matilda' as music and facts about Tasmanian tigers. Also enjoy the cactus and volcano landscape.

look at my dolly

ponyo! very cute movie. loved the jellyfish and plankton en masse in the first 10 minutes



collages i made out of science journals, old cook books and childrens books.
i always think old cook books are funny to look at because the pictures are very un-apetising. fluoro orange baked beans, lumpy dark brown gravy and creamed corn.

In Bloom

found this cool music sheet in an op-shop! my favourite bit is the guy with the glasses!

been a good week so far. my sister gave birth to her second daughter early wednesday morning which has got me very excited!
I decided to include the following pictures as I drew them with womanhod and fertility in mind.

An extreme exaggeration of a paddock/cleared space of nothing in Adelaide named 'Happy Valley'.

This is maybe what it once looked like, or, at least does in my fantasy life.

bodies in the new sun

tasmanian weeds

Drawn from a handbook about weeds after i got sick of trying to draw pretty flowers. I think the weeds were more fun to draw and look more interesting.
