In contrast to the examples above, consisting of a ‘short' strip, this here is noticeably longer in length, and although of apparent relative visual simplicity, this belies the underlying difficulties involved. As such, this example has an ‘Arabic' type of appearance, as it utilises tiles commonly found in the ‘all over' interlocking patterns that is typical of arabesque ornament. This particular example is one of my favourites in an aesthetic sense, as it possesses all the aesthetic conditions as set out in the introductory text to parquet deformations, as well as being intricate in its nature. |
