Kent Paul Dolan designed an interesting spiral using a computer program. With his permission, I copied the shape as precisely as I could, turning it into this painting.

Once I was finished -- which took several weeks -- I realized I had no idea what I'd just painted. The spiral is created by some mathematical equation -- other than that, I don't know what it is. So I wrote Kent email and asked, "What the hell did I just paint?"

Kent said:

What you painted was a color fill-in of the path part of a path and cities diagram for my Traveling Salesman Problem, where I did some filling in of stuff to make the cities go away and just leave "stuff inside the path" one color, and "stuff outside the path" the other color.

I don't know what that means, exactly, but it's a very interesting shape -- like the fingerprint off God's thumb. Or a flag for people who live inside the big bang.
