My show in Wisconsin is a little more than two months away and I find myself starring at a model that just doesn’t want to work. With V-VII in the bag VIII-X is the final cog in this wonderful machine that must work. Yet my attention to design is conflicting with my need for this piece to have a direct link to mathematics. I must find a marriage between these two ideals but I am finding it hard to compromise on either. Something must give, and I know my schedule will not!
