Crab Canon I Limited Edition of 8

This tessellation is based on a substitution tiling called the Birds and Bees tiling discovered by Joshua Socolar (1959—),
which has a ten-fold basic geometry. I first tried
to make it into birds and bees, but the strange creatures knew what they actually were – Crabs and Catfishes. A Crab Canon is a piece of music with two musical lines that are complementary and backward, like a musical palindrome. J. S Bach wrote a famous one in his Musical Offering, which is discussed in detail in Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid, the Pullizer prize-winning book by Douglas Hofstadter. Due to its strong
axes of symmetry, this tessellation is a kind of visual palindrome, with endlessly repeating motifs flowing left and right, up and down, backwards and forwards.
