DavidRindner has produced an excellent tome that was just the tonic I needed.
I would recommend this book to anyone who has conquered the basic paradigms of Form Z and is looking for intermediate to advanced methods of building flowing shapes.
David provides a handful of distinct methods that are polygonal based and which he has developed uniquely for himself.
