Collaging Google Earth - Amplify the Organic

Being fascinated by fractals has led me here. Coastlines are fractals. I am tinkering with the idea of using Google Earth to make fractal art. Here are some first tries. I want to abstract, what I find on my exploration. I also want the earth to look vivid, replicate, as fractals do, life, organs, trees, and amplify the organic. Some images look like organs to me, vascular systems, some look to be on a cellular level, or even outer space. Whatever the case, nature is surely intricate and sophisticated, yet amazingly simple at times too. I love it. 

These works deal with boundaries, fragments, fractals and organization.



Locations include: Greenland, Australia and Florida.

"I never told you about that letter Jane Crofut got from her 
minister when she was sick. He wrote Jane a letter and on the envelope the address was like this: It said: Jane Crofut; The Crofut Farm; Grover's Corners; Sutton County; New Hampshire; United States of America."

GEORGE: 
"What's funny about that?"

REBECCA: 
"But listen, it's not finished: the United States of America; Continent of North America; Western Hemisphere; the Earth; the Solar System; the Universe; the Mind of God--that's what it said on the envelope." 


GEORGE: 
"What do you know!"

REBECCA: 
"And the postman brought it just the same."

GEORGE: 
"What do you know!"
