Recursion One

Oil and beeswax on canvas

This is an introduction to my work for viewers to see on my new blog. I have included the full painting and a closeup.

I selected Recursion because it shows that painting and computer ideas can have intrinsic parallel universes.

WIKIPEDIA defines Recursion as follows:

Recursion (computer science) is a way of thinking about and solving problems. It is, in fact, recursion one of the central ideas of computer science. [1] Solving a problem using recursion means the solution depends on solutions to smaller instances of the same problem. [2]
"The power of recursion evidently lies in the possibility of defining an infinite set of objects by a finite statement. In the same manner, an infinite number of computations can be described by a finite recursive program, even if this program contains no explicit repetitions." [3]

This painting is about defining one solution form an infinite number of smaller instances.
