EXQUISITE TESSELLATION

We laser cut linoleum into small tessellation "hat" shapes, and passed them out to artists to carve. Then we piece them together to make larger tessellation collaborative prints. Finally we exhibit both the individual and collaborative EXQUISITE TESSELLATION prints.

The "hat" shape -- "aperiodic monotile" -- was discovered by DAVID SMITH in 2022
