Metamorphosis: Homage to M.C. Escher
-
Description
-
'Everyone working in symmetry owes a debt to M.C. Escher, whose wonderful figurative drawings illustrate virtually every type of known plane symmetry. This set of four panels is meant to honor Escher’s great Metamorphosis series, woodcut prints with the largest almost 7 meters long.In Metamorphosis II, Escher’s magic turns lizards into bees into fish into birds; and all by hand. My technique for morphing requires much less cleverness: I simply blend from one pattern into another.
In this set of panels, I show every type of wallpaper symmetry with either 3-fold or 6-fold rotational symmetry, making this something of a wallpaper sampler. (Which pattern has the same type as “Autumn Moths”?)'
