For my 'fractal friend' dwig from his 'fictual friend' twig;-)
& Dear Learners,
Rocamadour. A pilgrim's progress.

Fractal paths lead not just where they must, but where they do, which may
be where they are, anyway.
An artist speaks of creating (modelling) a globed cosmos and a terrestrial
sibling, making both the same size.
" When I had made my continents and their baroque coastlines, located and
demarcated various zones like the Silent Wood and the Fields of Tucco, and
created islands called Omple and Heek, I handed the globe back to Sylvia."
(This object pair is now in the Sackner Collection in Miami)
The artist writes of how it is to create upon a globe.
" I learned two things about painting and drawing on a spherical surface.
First, that it is very pleasant to work on since, unlike a flat piece of
paper one is always, so to speak, in the middle of the page. Second, that
a sphere is a vast surface in comparison to its apparent size, and what
seems a small and easily covered object takes about five times as long as
one thinks."
What is this dialogued place to me but a painting staircase,
full of many people full of unfullfilled questions
ascending, descending.
ascending, descending.
Search the turning.
assc and desc share their ending,
and so two are joined-
but always far flung to One centre.
Love,
Andrew
