Description

Length of blue and white printed textile, featuring a symmetrical, regular repeat pattern with six-fold rotational symmetry, comprised of fish motifs.


Created as part of series produced for the exhibition 'In Black and White. A Selection of Counterchange and Other Patterns' (1995) University Gallery, University of Leeds., and publication M.A. Hann and X. Lin 'Symmetry in Regular Repeating Patterns' (1995). Referenced in publication as Figure 3. Class p6mm. Described as "an all-over pattern generated by a combination of reflections and rotations. Six fold centres of rotation are present at each corner of the unit cell, which is of the hexangonal lattice type. Reflection axes connect each corner with the other three corners. Class p6 all-over patterns have a unit cell of the hexagonal lattice type, with corners falling on six-fold rotational centres. Three-fold rotational centres and two-fold rotational centres are also present. All the six-fold rotational centres have the same orientation; the three-fold roational centres have two different orientations; the two-fold rotational centres have three different orientations."
