**Work in Progress** Animals in the Form of Spheres, Chapter 7
Work done yesterday- I'll perhaps finish today, but then, maybe tomorrow. A mask in the form of Plato's universe. Because it turns out he thought planets were animals, just wandering around up there.
"A mask in the form of Plato's universe." You are creating a whole new concept in mask-making! This is brilliant!
