Some segments started to be dropped to add variety and visual interest

Things started to be balanced as colors, line weights, and texture were all dialed in

But some extremes strayed a little too far

A couple more bugs were uncovered that were fixed instead of embraced

And finally, the work has arrived in it's current and final form - pulled, stretched, and intertwined - bound in a tangled tension
