Collaboration with Professor Craig S. Kaplan: Tessera

AZMAS RUGS

Parquet Deformations

This pattern is the second part of the collaboration with Professor Craig S. Kaplan. The pattern/design is based on a grid technique that Professor Kaplan published in 2010, ultimately inspired by William Huff. The Laves tiling underling the pattern is the basic 4,4,4,4. The squares are subdivided into finer grids and at teach evolutionary step the edge shape shifts to enclose or liberate one grid cell. Parquet deformations are a kind of "spatial animation": a tiling of the plane from shapes that gradually evolve in space. They are described by Douglas R. Hofstadter as "a subtle, intricate art form." We believe that dhurrie weaving with its clear weft faced patterning is the clear way of representing this form of patterning on a carpet or textile.
