Sacred Geometry demonstrates what happens to space in two
dimensions - a subject last flowering in the art, science and
architecture of the Renaissance and seen in the designs of Stonehenge,
mosque decorations and church windows. With exquisite hand-drawn images
throughout showing the relationship between shapes, the patterns of coin
circles, and the definition of the golden section, it will forever alter
the way in which you look at a triangle, hexagon, arch, or spiral.
Miranda Lundy is a designer and artist. She lives and works
in Cornwall, England.
