A sequence of coordinates derived from Phi are plotted according to an unique algorithm that Bown wrote. Line and shape color is governed by another algorithm. Shape dimensions are formed by implementing another recursive computational procedure. Bown renders his line and shape maps without the aid of a computer or scientific calculator.

The work of Dave Bown is harmonious and balanced according to the research of Johannes Itten. Projects realized after February 2005, feature a color palette based on Phi Color Theorem, a color theory independently discovered by Bown, based on the Fibonacci progression of numbers.
