infinity


The work by the designer Karim Rashid reminds me of M.C Escher's tessellations. Rashid represents infinity very similarly to the way Escher does...(change in scale & repetition of the same shape). I think that Rashid does an excellent job of creating a type of optical illusion, just as Escher did in his pieces.

These are interesting pieces, and I was just trying to think about the techniques the artist used to evoke an idea of the infinite. I was noticing the repetition of course, but also the spacing of the shapes, the use of shading, and the choice of basic shape as well.
