Hexagons are found in both math and nature. But if I draw a hexagon, that doesn't mean I invented life in a test tube.

The parallels between math and art are well known. Sometimes art is just that - art. A testing and discovery of forms and figures.

Reminds me of the push to give mathematical credit to some tribe in Africa because complex "fractals" appeared in hair
weavings or somesuch.
