M.C. Escher Kaleidocylces, by Doris Schattschneider and Wallace Walker. New and unused state. English language version.
” The kaleidoscopically designed geometric forms in this collection are a continuation and extension of Escher’s own work. Covered with adaptations of Escher’s designs, they embody many of the themes dominant in his prints and are related to his own explorations of three-dimensional expression. In light of his work, it is not surprising that these creations required the collaboration of a mathematician and a graphic designer.
Your involvement is required also! A casual glance cannot reveal the surprises to be discovered in Escher’s prints. So, too, the secrets to be discovered in our models are only revealed by you creating the forms, examining them, and yes, playing with them! Each geometric model begins as a flat design: you bring it to “life,” providing the transition from its two-dimensional to its three-dimensional state. Once brought to life, the models provide many surprises for both hand and eye-the two-dimensional pattern gives few clues as to what you will see and feel when it takes shape in three dimensions. “
