A large-format exploration of the intersecting and concentric lines that make up a maze. Einstein tiles are a recently-discovered geometric shape, resembling a hat, that can perfectly cover an infinite plane without ever creating a repeating pattern. "Einstein" does not refer to the physicist, but instead derives from the German "ein stein" (one stone). This tile, discovered by math hobbyist David Smith in 2022, resolves a decades-long mathematical search for a single shape which can tile aperiodically (without repeating). Tessellation art is a mathematical art form that involves covering a surface with geometric shapes, tiles or plates to create a pattern without any overlap or spaces between them. The pattern is created by rotating, translating (sliding), and/or reflecting (mirroring) the plates onto a triangular 30-, 60- and 90-degree grid. Each linoleum plate in the Labyrinth series has been cut to these gridlines no matter the plate orientation. This work is a unique original work of art - Printmaking by Michael E. Voss (United States), Linocuts on Canvas. Its dimensions are 134.6x83.8 cm. The artist's signature is present on the artwork. This artwork is part of the gallery Labyrinth.
