OH MY GOD! Love this one! You're still in the quadrant shape-shading style from the trilogy before, and then let your 'monsterous' mind go wild? Has Gardner seen this? Howooooo!

HEY COWBOY
Thanks for the pat on the back.
I find myself in compositional themes occassionally and I like to follow them for awhile. Heck, I may not be done with this geometry thing yet...
John Gardner died in a motorcycle accident in 1982. It's intriguing to imagine what he might have thought of this piece.
