"Bats and Owls"
Robert Fathauer
Bats and Owls" is a limited edition screen print in which the self similarity characteristic of fractals is employed in the design. Escher's "infinity limit" drawings exhibit the same sort of self similarity (see, e.g. "Heaven and Hell" of 1960, "Square Limit" of 1964, and "Circle Limit III" of 1959). In Escher's designs, the perimeter is either circular or square, however, and the motifs only become infinitesimally small at the perimeter.
