Fractals in Art

As fractals have become more and more a part of common knowledge, they have certainly inspired artists. Below are some examples of fractal art.

Nat Friedman, pas de deux
Friedman uses the fractal nature of the splitting of granite.He draws lines on the rough side of polished granite, splits the granite along those lines (which of course will not be a clean split), separates the granite, pours ink over it, and, in essence, rubs the ink into a piece of paper.
