    Makes a fantastic geometrical abstract! I LOVE IT!!!!!

  • Thanks, Daisy! The pipes had been painted over with so many layers of dreary beige — what a thrill to give them new life!

    Very cool work, reminds me of an old game called Pipe Mania.

  • Thanks, Roddy, but I have no idea what you’re talking about, as I am much, much, much too young to remember Pipe Mania! ;-)

    really cool… whose the artist that paints the stairs that go nowhere and intersect … this reminds me of that… nicely done

  • Ah, that artist is M.C. Escher, on of my faves. Thanks, I’m flattered by the comparison! :-)

    OK, I know this is fractal… but it’s water pipes and they’re still all connected and probably working as well as anything done by any Belgian plumber!
    Which is what I dig so much about this. While most fractal work goes way over the top, your take here is mechanically grounded and if you go for industrial piping as much as I do it’s just totally wicked to see them feeding water-tight round all those crazy angles.
    Love the tones too.
    Way cool!!
