Artist's Statement

Mandelbub 3D 1.7.9.3

This is NOT a tweak...

Ok, the story...

I made this thing in a small preview size, and was desperately trying to think of a good title. I felt it had some abstract resemblance to the female form, and so thought of things like "Meditations on the female form" but because of the metallic look, that lead to "Metal-tations on the female form" but wasn't happy with it.

Then I was thinking (because it uses the Faehrten formula, something like "More Fun with Faehrten" but still didn't like it...

I kept thinking, and realized it had something of an H.R. Giger look, in the repetitive fin-like structures... wondered if I could use that in the title... at the same time, in the back of my mind, I had noticed it had some similarity to the better, metallic renders of GrahamSym, whom I particularly appreciate...

And that was when it all came together for me... bamm!

So call this an homage to the wonderfully titled "Why Did I Ask Escher To Build My House?" [link] by the incomparable GrahamSym

Thanks for the inspiration Graham!
