Faultlines

Broken Mandelbrot-based images

These images are drawn by Mandelbrot-based formulas employing
a fractional exponent rather than a whole number. While
relatively conventional in Mandelbrot terms, many of them
are technically interesting for exploiting the faultlines
that develop with such formulas. These faultlines break the
image into two or more discrete parts, and it is the relation-
ship of these parts that give these images their interest.
