Fractal Booklets
Fractal Booklets
Embedded Files
As part of the two-year “Patterns in Nature” program organized in collaboration with the Dublin Arts Council, I developed a series of Fractal Booklets that were distributed to over 3,000 participants through community Fractal Boxes placed in three public parks. These interactive installations, inspired by the idea of little libraries, invited visitors to engage with art, science, and the recurring patterns found in nature. The project combined visual design, educational content, and community collaboration to create a shared exploration of natural forms.

The cover illustrations for the Fractal Booklets were inspired by the self-similar geometry of natural systems—branching trees, river deltas, and spiraling shells. I hand-designed to reflect the intricate structures that appear across scales in the environment, merging scientific precision with expressive, organic linework. The layout of the booklet's interior pages was refined in collaboration with Rhys Grubel Designs, ensuring that the visual flow mirrored the rhythmic repetition central to fractal design.

Fractal Boxes
The Fractal Boxes served as both art installations and community touchpoints. Created by local artists (Karen Snouffer, Jonah Jacobs, and Andrea Myers), each box embodied the project’s theme of natural patterns, transforming public spaces into small hubs of discovery. Designed in the spirit of little libraries, the boxes invited park visitors to take, read, and share booklets—extending the reach of the project through everyday encounters with art in nature.

Curriculum Content
Curriculum Content
The curriculum content inside each booklet wove together artistic reflection, environmental observation, and mathematical exploration. Activities encouraged participants to look closely at fractals in the world around them—whether in a leaf, a coastline, or a cloud formation—while engaging with creative prompts and pattern-based exercises. The booklets served as both educational tools and art objects, designed to spark curiosity about how natural systems repeat, evolve, and connect.
