Michelle Hinebrook and her Optical Illustrations
Stare long enough into the precious stone illustrations of Michelle Hinebrook and you will lose yourself. These are abstract works that are built upon the idea of optical illusions . We have the repetition of patterns, geometric shapes and colours to entice the viewer and the interplay of light and different tints is wonderful. Go on, lose yourself for a while.

Yet another art form
Beauty, valuable and precious
Enjoy
WOW! Unbelievable! Thanks RIO these really are beautiful!!

Glad you liked them
It makes me want to go to a jewelry store to look at the pieces of art
For optical illusions, I enjoy the graphic artistry of M.C.Escher. Example:
The discovery offractal geometryhas made it possible to mathematically explore the kinds of rough irregularities that exist in nature.
In short, believe it or not, there is "A Mathematics of Chaos"!

I love the works of Escher as well
I have yet to see one that I was not intrigued by
Thanks for the feedback

The relation of chaos theory to beauty - now that would be an equation
Thanks for the feedback
These are beautiful!
I once wrote a paper on faceting-- the different cuts of jewels, the angles and refractive index, etc. It was tough drawing the different cuts and getting all the angles right. I'd say she hit these spot on! Especially the emerald cut in #2! Wow!
Is that the chaos theory they speak about in Jurassic Park?
There has to be a pump in there somewhere...
Well, let's try
How's that?
Chaos theory is a field of study in mathematics which studies the behavior of dynamical systems that are highly sensitive to initial conditionsa response popularly referred to as the butterfly effect . Small differences in initial conditions (such as those due to rounding errors in numerical computation) yield widely diverging outcomes for such dynamical systems, rendering long-term prediction impossible in general. [1] This happens even though these systems are deterministic , meaning that their future behavior is fully determined by their initial conditions, with no random elements involved. [2] In other words, the deterministic nature of these systems does not make them predictable. [3] [4] This behavior is known as deterministic chaos , or simply chaos . The theory was summarized by Edward Lorenz as: [5]
Right
Huh?

Sounds like a perfect formula to me!

I am sure that your explanation is correct, but it makes my temples throb, I liked your simpler explanation of chaos and beauty above

Excellent analogy in my view
Thanks for the feedback

Thanks so much for stopping by and for the feedback
I loved them all but you are right that emerald in #2 is special
Exactly... I can barely understand percent, much less this!
