wouldn't like to do fractal math without technology... it's hard enough with.
i draw at work... scribble... graffiti. people cover the tables with cardboard - for some reason i've never quite fathomed - and i scrawl all over it. sometimes come up with ideas i really wish i could take home. photographing on my mobile never captures it - too digitally dismal lens capture. the drawings sometimes last a month or two, more often a week or two, depending on how much use the table gets and if someone covers it over or not. i draw when i feel most horrendously hard done by due to my repetitious job, when i feel most imprisoned and alienated by it. the kind of feelings i just don't get at home. a time window anywhere between 1 and 15 seconds every minute for 7.5 hours a day. at home there's too much comfort.
