I propose to submit three or four bi-cornuate forms made of plaster and/or resin over vinyl¹. These shapes began as topological transformations of paired discs in a manner that is a development of the work described in the accompanying abstract. To arrive at the hard form versions, inflatable shapes were made, then covered with fiberglass and resin or plaster. In the latter case the forms were then filled with foam. This made it possible to maintain topological integrity yet make adjustments to the original shape according to aesthetic criteria. The exhibition will consis of the forms with related schematic diagrams. [See (b,e)].

Bi-Cornuate (c)
The original discs for this form are 36". The subdivision is identical to "Bi-Cornuate" (after legs). The difference in shape is because at point (i) a section of the "Skin" is flipped and re-attached. Thus one end of the form thickens to become a "foot" or "shoulder" [See (b)].

Bi-Cornuate (d)
Originating diameter, 36". The disc subdivision similar to the previous forms, except that a sliver, removed from the outer edge in order to bend the ends into a leg-like stance, was re-attached after the form was completed. In these works all parts of the disc must be used³ [See (b)].

Bi-Cornuate (f)
This form differs from the previous three in that the orginal subdivision is less elongated and because it is rotationally symmetric⁴ [See (e)].
