Penrose Curves 2

Penrose Curves2

20" x 20" - 14 gauge canvas, using Appleton yarn colors.

 

This was my third attempt at a Kites and Darts theme. In this case I color in the "blue" curve that can be drawn on top of the kites and darts design. It is essentially the same design as Penrose Curves1. The coloring scheme was chosen to emphasize the recursion.

The smaller patterns are grouped in several ways to form larger patterns. These larger patterns are grouped in the same ways to form yet larger and larger patterns. Each scale of grouping is surrounded by an outline made of a single continuous curvy line. This grouping continues on larger and larger scales without limit. Although symmetry can be found within the groupings at each scale, there is no overall large scale symmetry.

Meditation discovers many relationships among the smaller parts of the design.

See my Penrose tiling page to read and see how these designs are developed.

The complexity of the design is not able to be seen well here, but there is a high resolution desktop BMP file of this design in the Download area.
