"Jet Geometry" is a take on the contrails/vapor trails left in the Arizona sky by aircraft. Flint said: "Arizona seems to be a sort of crossroads for jet traffic which often fills the unbelievable blue sky with a crisp white geometry. I attempt to reduce an experience to a particular configuration of color, value, shape relationships that will move me the same way that the original experience did."
