Look at 346 (image at right) and count the number bisecting points on
the perimeter.
128 to be exact 128 half is 64 , half is 32 half is 16 half is 08 half is 4
half is 2 half is 1.
Now join an inner point to an outer point, clockwise then counter
clockwise . That is it . However there are many shapes one may use as
a line. Sometimes you may want to take a detour . You can however
you must arrive at point B from point A .
Compass + ruler + geometry + imagination . Repetition is the one
constant in all my work.
If I leave you confused I am sorry. This is just the pattern. Now I have to
paint them.

In the field of life,I have been involved with
main frame computers, bits, bytes, binary,
decimal and hexadecimal numbers.
Sound confusing? Good.
After 21 years of daily operations, programming,
systems and disaster recovery I figured it was
time to retire and regain my sanity. To avoid a
different form of insanity I started painting and
writing poetry.
I started geometric arts in 1995 and now have
300 designs of lines, curves, shapes, and di-
mension. You are now the critics of whatever
you wish to call these items. Criticism is easy.
Please feel free to contact me. My home page
has the necessary info to reach me. I will appreciate any comments.
