Fractal art is a type of digital art that’s considered new media. It’s not drawn or painted by hand, rather, fractal-generating software is used that relies on mathematical calculations to visually display objects.

“I have always loved creating things, be it a drawing, painting or 3d model making.

As I have this fascination with nature I love trying to recreate it in my own way so I can take what magic there is home whilst leaving the true beauty out there to continue inspiring and growing. “
Mclaughlin turns some of his sculptures into dramatic light fixtures, such as this rook:
These one-of-a-kind paper and wood bird creations are absolutely breathtaking. Inspired by the beauty of nature and birds Zach says he “takes what magic there is home whilst leaving the true beauty out there to continue inspiring and growing.”
