Abstract

This paper shows that space-filling curves are an excellent source for creating Escheresque tessellations. The irregular path of the curve challenges to look more closely at artworks with such tessellations. The focus is to investigate deformation schemes of the tiles which are related to the path of the curve. The schemes discovered by Richard Hassell for a square grid are described, and adapted for a hexagonal grid.
