This one was created using the script ~ datagram wrote upon my request and though it takes some real manipulating, in effect, Escher's idea to create an infinite pattern in a predefined shape can be achieved, and might I add, in such a beautiful way.

Those of you who are familiar with M.C Escher have probably seen his woodcut series titled Circle Limit I - IV in which the center pattern is the largest, and scales down until it is infinite around the perimeter. I applied a few scripts, and pushed around triangles in Apophysis until something like this began to show. I was truly amazed, and obsessed. I asked my friend Matteo to help me write a script so that I could easily obtain these results again. I sent him some of my sample flames and he figured it out from there.

I am always amazed at the different things that can be achieved with fractal software like Apophysis. With this script, we can now put Escher's vision into a new modern perspective. M.C. Escher was brilliant and he gets all the credit for this one. If you don't know of him, (and I can't imagine that there are many fractal lovers out there who don't) you need to do a Google search right now. Go on... do it. You won't be disappointed!

Created with Apophysis only. No post work. Please also see Sun God which is another artwork based on the same concept.
