Fractals So Striking, They Could Be Fabergé




Lovers of mathematics will often wax poetic on its beauty, but it isn’t always an easy concept for we non-math folk to grasp…until now. You can’t deny the appeal of these gorgeous pieces of art designed by Tom Beddard, laser physicist turned artiste. Going by the name ‘subBlue’, Beddard, previously from the University of St Andrews in Scotland, has produced ‘Fabergé Fractals’. Just like the ornate Fabergé eggs that were produced in Russia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Beddard’s creations are incredibly detailed, with labyrinthine curves and lines snaking across each object’s many sides. According to My Modern Met, the former physicist uses a formulaic method to create these digitally rendered three-dimensional models. This isn’t the only project inspired by Fabergé, though; Beddard also created this mesmerizing video entitled “Music Box” prompted by the beautiful eggs.
