David Bailey's World of Tessellations

• Published in 2009
• Added on 2025-06-18

I'm David Bailey from Grimsby, England, with a keen interest in recreational mathematics, of a mostly geometrical nature, and more specifically in all aspects of tessellation. Primarily though, it is overwhelmingly on tessellation, with a strong focus on the Escher-like aspect, which then expanded to include other aspects as well, including strictly mathematical tilings, and 'special case' investigations, such as the Cairo tiling (and pavements in general), houndstooth, cluster puzzles, and parquet deformations. Complementing the Escher-like tessellations are a series of essays on Escher himself. Indeed, the ‘special cases’ are so substantive that any one could be a website in their own right! Other mathematical recreational interests include the Möbius strip, polyhedra, geometric puzzles, and jigsaw puzzles (what is a jigsaw puzzle if not a tessellation?)
