I'm for formless construction.

I'll use playing cards as an example. Take a stack of cards and cut slits in the corners. Lay them out contiguously in the shape desired. Tighten them up, lapping the edges and pinwheeling the corners. Your shape may dictate some cards lap more or less than others.

A rough male form like an eggcrate is sufficient, but if the edges are calculated with sufficient accuracy then it can all be done with math. Else the lower form could stay in place, but the upper one would need to be hollowed out. How high on the body will the split be?



I'm thinking about offering up all my illiquid capital to help a niece with her legal woes. Maybe I can take a bus to Utah and spectate.
