Description

Length of black and white printed textile, featuring a regular repeat pattern based on fish, with two-fold rotational symmetry.


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 p2mm. Described as "an all-over pattern with rectagular lattice type unit cells. The highest order of rotation is two and the pattern is generated by reflection in four sides of a rectangle. Two types of horizontal reflection axes alternate with each other, as do two types of vertical reflection axes, two-fold rotational points are present as each of the reflection axes intersections. The unit cell is constructed by joining four rotational centres of the same orientation."
