This is a satellite photo of huge snow storm that hit the East coast over the the 2010 Christmas holiday. Nature proves to us that it is very powerful and dynamic when it organizes itself and expresses itself through the form of the golden spiral. Since we are inseparable from nature, there is every reason to believe we as individuals can summon similar power on a smaller scale.
I incorporated the spiral into a dartboard backboard that I constructed back in the mid 1990's. It is decorated with hundreds of wine corks I had collected over the years. This was very time consuming ... drinking all that wine ... just kidding. No, I mean that actual construction of the backboard. Working in fine dining establishments made cork collecting fairly painless. The board came out great! You will notice that the golden spiral on the board below starts in the lower left hand quadrant exits and then re-enters the left side of the board, drops off and re-enters the bottom of the board, juts off the right side of the board and re-enters in the top right quadrant. If you compare the spiral on the board with the photo above, you will notice that the spirals mirror each other. The construction of this board was not accidental. You will also notice a dark curved line cutting across the center. This represents and arm that is swinging a paddle. In this piece the dartboard represents both a compass face and a paddle. The picture does not do justice to this piece. I looks great hanging on the wall ... if I may say so myself.
