Art of the outside world. “Donald Jackson’s illustration of “Creation” shows seven vertical slices representing the days of creation, beginning with fractals and the Hebrew word for chaos.” Library of Congress: Illuminating The Word, IRL exhibition. Also, LOC: Illuminating the Word: The St. John’s Bible, Online Exhibition. Same image, without fractal in the description. The Saint John’s Bible.

My first fractal, a Sierpinski triangle. Draw triangle. Draw second triangle from the midpoints of the sides. Center stays open. Repeat.
I figured I’d “cheat” and use Inkscape instead of drawing by hand. Didn’t help as much as I thought it would.
1) I couldn’t get the math right to reduce compound figures. Had to draw each new size & then copy to the required locations.
2) Still confused the crap out of me.
Started with outer shape. Moved in. Five iterations.
About halfway thru, I filled in the center triangles with yellow as a clarification aide.
Hat tip to Gement for introducing me to drawing fractals.
Onwards!
