Project Information
Here are two versions of a design called "Symmetry Drawing C" by M. C. Escher. The first is a 7-1/2 foot x 4 foot wall decoration carved in redwood. The four birds and two fish fit together in a tessellation. The second version is a mobile carved in 9" x 5" basswood. Four other figures are suspended around the central piece which is like the wall decoration, but in this case everything is carved on both sides.
This design was later (January 1952) used by Escher to produce a woodcut of "Sketch of Two Intersecting Planes."
