Semi-Regular Humans (2007) by M.E.Naylor
This 6.4.3.4 tessellation is one in a series of eight prints called Semi-Regular Humans.
Semi-regular tessellations are tiling patterns where the tiles are a mix of regular polygons which meet snugly at identical vertices.
At each corner in this pattern, a hexagon, square, equilateral triangle, and square meet.
Notice the three different types of hexagons. Using male/female squares, is this pattern of different hexagons inevitable?
What symmetries would you find if you were to complete the upper and lower hexagons?
