Escher, sent to me by Jack





Impossible Illustration Brought to Life

What happens when you try to take an 2D illustration of an impossible 3D construction and turn it into a real-world sculpture? We figured that it would create a dangerous rift in the space time continuum bringing about an endless solar winter that would engulf our planet in darkness. Luckily in the case of this unusual Escher Waterfall Sculpture none of that occurred.



Instead we discovered that by closing one eye, and viewing this sculpture from just the right angle we could bring the amazing work of M.C. Escher to life. Of course a casual glance with binocular vision destroys the entire illusion... but hey it's still a very cool little sculpture that really captures the detail of the original Waterfall woodcut.
