His early work of bridges and so forth notorious for the lack of figures, guessing it was something he had problems with regardless of the ball and chain. :tea:

Ronald Davis (b.1937) describes himself as an artists, geometrician, and abstract illusionist. This one, Arch Duo and Vented Star, 1976, looks like trippy farm machinery to me.
