Statement

I have developed a set of tessellating arc shaped tiles with sides comprised of curves of constant width. This is an interactive piece that allows people to create their own tessellating designs for an ever evolving display in the gallery. There are enough tiles in the set for a 24"x24" table top display.

The tessellating tiles may be used to make free form designs or may also be constrained by template to create a puzzle.
