This work consists of five to seventeen polygons which are drawn inside each other. Each is made up by starting with one radius from the central point. Each succeeding radius is drawn at a Golden Section angle to the previous radius (going clockwise, then,halfway across the work, anti-clockwise); the outer ends of the radii are joined giving non regular polygons. Each new polygon has its starting point at the Golden Section point on a side of the previous polygon. Triangles are placed at one end, middle and other end in turn, on the sides used and turn outwards at the exit area. Chromium oxide green is used at the centre and with each succeeding space is mixed with progressively more cerulean blue and white; the blue becomes more and eventually takes over. Reverse colours and tones are used to show the exit area.
