John Prazak's 3 Dimensional Escher Designs

Some of these drawings were based on the work of British mathematician Sir Roger Penrose. In 3-dimensional analytic geometry the shape of an object is not only determined by the positions of the vectoral lines, but also by the position of the observer. It is understanding of this math that lead to the development of these models. M.C.
