Fractal Cosmos 2019 Wall Calendar: The Mathematical Art of Alice Kelley Details
About the Author Alice Kelley discovered fractals in 1995 and began collecting other people's fractal images. She was excited by their abstract beauty and the fact that such gorgeous pictures were created by math alone. Since fractals are actually computer versions of natural fractal phenomena like coastlines, plant shapes, and weather patterns, they seemed to resonate with her because they do not appear to be artificial. Kelley began making fractals herself a year later and found that she was able to manipulate and color fractal images in an intuitive manner. Each fractal starts out as chaos, and I find the pattern in it, and that pleases me, she said. Perhaps it's a metaphor. So much of life and the universe is chaos, and I can take a tiny part of it and make beauty. Read more

All 12 pictures are stunning. The color of the month grid changes from month to month, coordinating very nicely with the color of the picture for that month.The only complain I have is that the nail hole on the front page is not fortified with a metal ring, it might tear due to the weight of the pages hanging from it. I placed a piece of blue painter's tape over it, then punched a small hole through, just to make it a bit thicker and stronger.
