Rinus Roelofs is an artist. He's taken up where Escher left off, combining mathematical forms in unexpected ways to produce objects and images with both subtle order and extraordinary beauty.

I found him in a footnote to a paper on orderly tangles. I got started down the whole thread because I've been playing with a tangle ball I found in my son's room. It looks like this dog toy.

Very cool. "A little bridge between
M.C. Escher and Leonardo da Vinci" is also interesting... thanks for the link
