Escaping Escher

I’ve been working on a few new (to me) ideas that explore optical puzzles and tricks for the eye. I love M.C. Escher’s mazes and play of negative and positive space. His woodcut Day & Night inspired me to create this tribute. I learned a lot trying to figure out how to fit the pieces together.

In Escher's maze of birds entwined,
One dreamed of freedom she could find.
With wings outstretched, she soared away,
To skies where endless wonders lay.
