PATTERNS
by Christopher Fechner - Smith
Christopher Fechner - Smith is a New York / New Jersey based portrait and nature photographer specializing in aerial perspectives. He strives to blur the lines between art and science, highlighting the physical manifestations of the fundamental laws of the universe when they reveal themselves to us in nature. Fractal dimensions, self similarity, and order within chaos are the primary themes of his work. Christopher ’s photos illustrate how the thoughtless falling of raindrops, flowing of streams, and cracking of ice can emulate the most sophisticated forms found in living organisms, from the bronchioles in our lungs to the capillaries which circulate our blood. Perhaps we can view these parallels as evidence of our deep connection to the earth on which we live and the universe itself. Through his work Christopher invites the viewer to create their own conclusions about that which is being shown; is there an elegant thread which interweaves us all together with nature, is it merely coincidence, or is the truth beyond our understanding?
