Hexagon(al) Shapes.

Post by canboarda »

Hello again,

I was asking if there's any reason why there's some preference to the hexagon in BoC's stuff.
Are they just fans of geometry?

There are a few possibilities, They have said they find the hexagon a fascinating shape due to geometry and nature as you say, Also it may stem from Hexagon Sun which I personally believe refers to lens flare or bokeh from the sun, a lens flare of the sun would look hexagonal if you used a 6 bladed aperture in your camera lens. There is also the possibility its a reference to the hexagonal benzine ring which is the base molecule for many compounds (Left Side Drive). Or it could be all of the above!

That is very interesting. I have to agree that the hexagon is fascinating. One of my favourites.

I can't think of any other possible scenario. That was the exact moment a new branch of reality was spawned. Somewhere out there is a track called Tortoise Hexagon Pool :D

Actually people say they can hear pool being played in the background of Turquoise Hexagon Sun. I used to hear it, The clacking of pool balls on a pool table, But I don't hear it anymore. SO WEIRD.

I figured there must already be a hexagons topic and I found one. For all of you hexagon spotters out there. Keep it real-life or handmade, please? Image

Posting here mostly for more triangles in the avatars.

Triangles are great, form the basis of geometry and hexagons are a group of triangles looking inward.
I also concur with the general sun flare idea.
