He went through many stages throughout his art, but his most lasting legacy are the tessellations he made and the mathematical impact they had.

All the grand success that HealthSouth was known for was a lie, a mask to hide what was going on behind the scene, hidden from the public eye. A secret so well hidden, that it went unnoticed for years. A secret so large it broke not only the law but several accounting principles. It was the rise and fall of the…
