Thomas,
Quit being so fractal...but I too cast my vote in favor of fractal fronds. If I were going to rail against anything it would be the "fronds" not the fractal. However, I am sure I could write a substantial paper (not that anyone would read it) on the merger of the organic and the inorganic creating a whole that is larger than it's parts (thesis + antithesis = synthesis: see Hegel), and how the sublime is a creation composed of such disparate unions. That is to say, that in doing so one moves from the world of phenomena (cause and effect) into the realm of the noumena (synthetic apriori intuition..see Kant "Critique of Pure Reason"), aka the realm of Being or the sublime.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
