Prime Marks 9 to 8

72 individual small square canvases showing numbers from 1 to 72. Each number is depicted using symbols representing a prime or its prime factors. For example, two and three are a yellow chevron and a red triangle respectively. The non-prime 6 is represented by its prime factors 2 and 3 (2x3=6) shown as a yellow chevron and a red triangle.

The 72 canvases are arranged in one large block to show how the prime and factored numbers repeat and make patterns. The twist, though, is that the block of canvasses can be rearranged in several ways, each time exposing different patterns and relationships.

Here I'm changing the grid from 9 across and 8 down to 8 across and 9 down.
