Mr Dixon’s original drawing was based on a mathematical model inspired by his extensive study of a daisy, the natural pattern of which is different from any known concentric pattern in art or architecture. After some time trying to draw the pattern by traditional means, he drew it on a computer.



so it was a 'coloured in' copy of a computer generated image - not 'art', as I would define it - if people are prepared to engage with that, then I am not going to say they are wrong, I just don't agree with them.
