im always interested in what people say about this piece. you, for instance, talk about dimension. i don't see that when i look at it, and it's fun for me to try and step into your shoes and try. so, thanks for that.

I'm very familiar with all of his works. The birds were some of his earlier work and he spent painstaking amounts of time devising those patterns indeed. He was certainly complex and mathematic in his approach.
I see plenty of dimension. Its as if you've designed a Floral World underneath a wheel of dimension. Its almost nautical looking also, I can't quite put my finger on it. That does seem like quite an effort to dedicate so much time to complete something so kudos on that.
I'm assuming it has something to with time and wave lengths.
