The math concept hidden in this tree art — geometric shapes known as fractals — is apparent in branching patterns in nature ...

Wood burning, which goes by pyrography when it’s feeling fancy, has been an art form for centuries ... the voids really brings out the fractal nature of the Lichtenberg figures.

In real trees in nature, that number is usually somewhere ... branch diameter scaling exponent. But by looking at fractals in art and trees, the researchers hoped to start a discussion.

Trees in nature follow a “self-similar ... “We analyse trees in artwork as self-similar, fractal forms, and empirically compare art with theories of branch thickness developed in biology ...

The math concept hidden in this tree art — geometric shapes known as fractals — is apparent in branching patterns in nature and may be key to humans’ ability to recognize such artwork as ...
