    My one (and only) post to the thread. Did this at the start of the thread...but been tied up and was cleaning out a temp drawing folder on my desktop and saw it. Been neat looking at the images in the thread, though.

    Problem is, Gary, that people concentrate on the finite. Like you have done.

    Aside from that quibble, it is impossible to express the infinite without using the finite. It's a concept, not necessarily a reality.

    You mentioned an 'eye', Gary.

    So, here's an infinite one.
    Well, as infinite as Xara will let me zoom.

    So, in the iris of the big eye, there's an eye.
    (That's why the first eye, doesn't look like and eye. Because the iris is covered.)

    Then in the iris of that eye, there's an eye... etc... etc... etc...
    At 25601%, there actually is an eye, which has an iris. Becuase I can't zoom in, any further.

    So, if you accept that Xara is the ultimate tool, then ultimately, I have an infinite eye.

    Dagnabit!
    I wish I had thought of that!

    And I'll take the money, without the VAT.

    To follow up, the dot is simply representative of me, us, or humanity in an overwhelming sea of...nothing. "Nothing" being representative of endlessness (you know, the black field). The black field can be anything, space (the ultimate representative of the infinite which really isn't), sorrow and our (the dot) aloneness, or, whatever.

    (Art) Looses something (all representations of "something") when an explanation is attempted, doesn't it?

    At its most basic it well enough represents how I was/am feeling.
