About me
My name is Doug. I have a fascination for drawing geometric patterns and seeing what emerges from the complex network of intersecting lines.
I have been creating art as Fractal Roots since 2017 when I got my first laser engraver and began drawing designs. Since then I have been in a process of creative development, exploring geometry and working with different natural materials.
From carving avocado seeds into jewellery, to laser cutting/engraving wood. Working with natural, sustainable/upcycled materials is the way I choose to create.
I love to craft unique and beautiful objects. Each piece I create receives my full care and attention, delicate sanding and hand finishing with a brush.
There is a lot of mass produced jewellery and decor out there. Imitations of art churned out in factories, separating the soul of the creation from its creator. I believe the true value of art comes from the hands that hold it whilst it takes form.
A large part of my passion for creating beauty lies in bespoke work. I love to create custom art and jewellery for individuals and small businesses. I make everything from small jewellery pieces, to signs and large wall decor. Get in touch if you'd like me to work with you to create something special.
