Yesterday I had the great pleasure of going to see the NC Museum of Art exhibit The World of E. C. Escher: Nature, Science and Imagination. What a fabulous collection of Escher works! Of course I was familiar with a few of his pieces, such as

I believe there are quilt designs to be had in some of this work.
In conjunction with the Escher exhibit, the museum has da Vinci's Codex Leicester on loan from Bill Gates. Escher studied da Vinci's work, and was inspired by him. Interestingly, this Codex is written backwards, so that it could only be read in a mirror.
The exhibit is here until the middle of January. Definitely worth a visit.

Some of his other pieces I was not as familiar with, but I the concepts were not new to me.
