"A Mobeus Strip, or Möbius band, also Mobius or Moebius, is a surface with only one side and only one boundary. The Möbius strip has the mathematical property of being non-orientable. It can be realized as a ruled surface. It was discovered independently by the German mathematicians August Ferdinand Möbius and Johann Benedict Listing in 1858, so it could just as well be called a Listing Band."
Thus Spake Wikipedia, and so it must be true and correct in all, or in this case its one-and-only dimension.
Somewhere along the recent way, thinking that Art also needed to reflect the Age of Science and Technology, I created some abstracts out of painted DNA helixes, which actually make some rather good patterns and would be a great way to merge Art and Science in school, though probably not much beyond Kindergarten. I have not included those pictures in this gallery (yet), because even I who have very low ones nonetheless have standards.
The Mobeus Strip here is at once a pun on the clothing worn by footballers (AFC Möbius once played in the German league, but now they have no listing), and a tribute to the magnificent genius of Andy Warhol, who did for the can of tomato soup what I have attempted to do here for the football.
And yes, of course the background should have been football-pitch green (the one I have used for the text here), and not the colour that I did use, but I play my games with words as well as images, with poetry à la Eliot and not just à la Beckham, and the lilac grew out of that dead land.
