Laserglyphs (1990-93) are based on the six-dimensional hypercube. This geometrically defined structure has 32 diagonals and 720 different diagonal-paths. P-454-D and P-454-E are combinatorial drawings that show the diagonal-paths between two diagonally opposite points in the six-dimensional structure.

In mathematics, combinatorics is a subject primarily concerned with counting sets, subsets and other discrete, and certain properties of finite structures both as a means and an end in obtaining results. Combinatorial mathematics govern the selection of a given number of elements from a larger number without regard to their arrangement. Combinatorics is related to randomness in the sense that whenever one has a choice to make, the study of the range of that choice is a combinatorial problem.
