In a system developed over two decades, beginning with inventing and fabricating my patented “Gravity Easel” my process incorporates observation (nature), study (physics) and practice (meditation) into a dynamic creative system of “controlled chaos” that generates pattern formation. I combine properties of topological mixing (pigment and viscosity of media), water, gravity, erosion, wind, and period orbits to recreate natural phenomena with fractal features cast acrylic panels. These “strange attractors” are paint waves and disturbances that, through the energy created by the movement of my easel, oscillate along the panel surface creating t
