Hello All,

I am an artist who is just beginning to learn how to think mathematically. Have studied the basics "The Golden Standard", Da Vinci, MC Esher. View attachment 6293View attachment 6293 Given my interest, I was introduced to the work of the Dorothea Rockburne and given this work to critique. While I can do the all the art and social analyst of the work, I do not know what equation she is expressing in the attached work. Any assistance would be very much appreciated.

Cheers,

Gord
