Three Fishes

"Three Fishes " is a limited edition screen print made in 1994. The motif bears a resemblance to one of Escher's tessellation designs, but the symmetry of the design is quite different. Escher's design has four-fold rotational symmetry about the tail and the top fin, with two-fold rotational symmetry about the jaw. "Three Fishes", on the other hand, has three-fold rotational symmetry about the tail, top fin, and mouth.

Hand silkscreen art print showing a tessellation of fishes in three orientations.
