"Twelve Angels"

5" Diameter

Carved & Painted

October 2001
    
Images from my tesselation "Angels", carved and painted on the surface of a 127 mm (5 inch) diameter composite ball.   The twelve tessellated figures are projected onto the 6 faces of a spherical cube.   This work was inspired by M.C. Escher's 1942 work "Heaven & Hell" in which the images of 24 angels and devils were carved in a similar arrangement on a 235 mm (9-1/4") maple ball.
