Origins
Now let's return to images. Where did
these ideas come from?
As my abstract mentions, I'm a
cartoonist:
Cartoonists practise sketching to build up a stock
of mental images. I was drawing someone on the other side of
the street, thinking about how much detail to draw in their
hands. That led me to consider the texture of houses and bricks.
But I'm also a category theorist — and category theory
is concerned, roughly speaking, with structure-preserving
transformations between objects. These are called
morphisms. So it seemed natural to think of the houses
and bricks in these terms. That is, as mappings
from naïve translations to more balanced ones.
