Life in Anaheim, California, was a commercial for itself, endlessly replayed. Nothing changed; it just spread out farther and farther in the form of neon ooze.

Before my work, those shapes had no use, hence no word was needed to denote them. My work created such a need and I coined "fractals." View quote
