BF: Symmetry does not necessarily equate into harmony, and harmony most definitely does not need symmetry. OMost objects look symmetrical because both sides are similar. But even in your own body, you know there's no real symmetry, just a resemblance drawn along a vertical axis. The semblance of linear symmetry (radial symmetry is another matter entirely) was caused chiefly for ease of movement, streamlining in an aquous environment, but the first living organism were not symmetrical. Take sponges, for example: one of the most ancient forms of animal life. Definitely not symmetrical. Cells themselves are not at all symmetrical. Sean - excellent work. I forgot to say so in my last post. "Touchstone" and "Sometimes the mirror does lie" are amazing! "Touchstone" is an excellent example of the look I strive to achieve. I take of my hat to you! Arista - nice work. Specially if you actually manage to get a sandwich out of them. You have to teach me that trick sometime.
