TilingIntricacies

For this week's Creative Code Challenge by @sableraph: "Escher”, Tiling Intricacies  coded with SonicPi & HydraVideoSynth that contains layered symmetrical pieces that are also tessellations, which can be seen throughout MC Escher’s work.

Poetry

Tessellation Exploration
Mathematical Gridding
Linked to the rhythm
That the tiles have hidden
As it is the key to their restoration
