Description
the fibonacci sequence is a simple mathemathical equation where each number adds itself to the number preceding it.
hence: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 11, etc.

when you plot these numbers on a grid system you get the golden rectangle .
if you join each corner of the squares of this grid using a compass from the oposing corner,
you get a perfectly symmetrical and endless spiral. this is the golden spiral.
fans of tool will know of how they've extensively used the golden spiral
in the writing of their album Lateralus. the golden spiral also is found everywhere in nature.
here i've used the golden rectangular grid as reference to create circles of equal diameter to each square.
i placed the circles along the squares, so that they were intersected by an invisable golden spiral.
I took a ridiculous amount of time putting this together. i know it looks simple enough in it's design,
but i assure you it's all symmetrical and relative to eachother.

the background textures are heavily manipulated and blended stock from the fantastic =resurgere
all the symmetry was done in Adobe Illustrator. with the texturing and colouring done in Photoshop.

comment and critique it as much as you like. i apreciate it all. enjoy!
