Patterns in Nature
Geraldine Sarmiento, an artist based in San Francisco, draws her inspiration from nature's patterns. Her designs are created from algorithms called L-systems. L-systems, used in science to model the growth of plants and other organic life, produce reccurrent (rhythmic) and modular (fractal) patterns that Geraldine applies to various materials. At present she is creating accessories in leather and silver.

The combination of computer controlled fabrication tools and hand craftsmanship enables Geraldine to create new and exciting pieces of wearable art, products of the intersection of art itself with science and technology.
