i would love to see a timelapse of the creation of one of these. reminds me of the sand drawings that buddhists do, knowing that your creation will be wiped clean.

I'm curious how he kept oriented.... any feeback from a remote mounted camera or just careful repetition of small geometric structures?

Nice! That made my morning.

In a couple of shots, I noticed x and y axis lines, presumably as reference lines.
