New Expressions in Tessellating Art: Layered Three-Dimensional Tessellations

Makoto Nakamura

A chapter in M.C. Escher’s Legacy, 2003, pp 207-214 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract When I came across Escher’s tessellating art more than 20 years ago, it made a strong impact on me. Since then, I have been working on tessellating art myself. Like Escher, I have used my tessellations to create art that is fanciful, and in which tightly-packed creatures metamorphose or break out of their confined space. Some of my tessellating art has been expressed in screen process printing and sculpture, but most of my work is paintings. One example of my early work, Wind and Wave, is shown in Fig. 1; color plates 10 and 11 show this and another scene. In these works, you need to look closely to find the many tessellations that comprise the scene. Many more examples of my tessellation art (in color) are on the CD Rom.
