Thesis Research // Maurits Cornelis Escher and Roger Penrose

Writer's picture: Eloise BrayEloise Bray

Looking into tessellation - in regards to speculating what a tesseract may be formed and experienced as, I began to research M. C. Eschers work, especially the prints inspired by Roger Penrose's drawings from the 1930's which ironically were inspired by Eschers impossible staircase - a paradox in itself somewhat.

Penrose - inspired by the image above, set out to create a series of impossible structures and eventually released the series of images below:

In response, Escher explored paradoxical spaces in a series of drawings that combined the impossible structures previously drawn by Penrose:


Using these concepts, alongside the forms and spaces experienced through exploring the manifold gardens, I begin to experiment with varying outputs to form a paradoxical tesseract in which space and time may be explored in a physical realm.
