Music
Artist's Statement: Robert Erlandson
This portfolio contains images which are created from a digital collage and address the theme Music. For me, my created images often imply familiar patterns thereby suggesting a visual metaphor for the wide range of feelings underlying my visual and written art. The images created for this portfolio suggest music.
The digital collages are created from digitally created fractal images, photographs, and digital sketches. Sometimes a fractal image says it all. Other times, the fractal image needs support from other fractal patterns, photographs, or digital drawings. Like a symphony, fractal patterns can be simple or complex, peaceful or tumultuous, whimsical or serious. Key to creation is the mathematical score, the program for the mathematics. Equations are the paintbrushes and the color palette.
