  • Planks lean alternately left and right into a herringbone floor, and each one slides a little along its own grain as a wave crosses the room.

  • Eight-pointed stars and the small crosses that lock between them fill the wall, each tile turning against its neighbour as a slow wave crosses the glaze.

  • Four line grids at even angles are cut into squares and thin rhombs, giving an eight-fold tiling that never repeats however far it runs.

  • Every gap between three touching circles is filled by the one circle that touches all three, over and over, until the whole disc is packed to the grain.

  • Overlapping shell fans lie in offset courses with rays struck across each one, and a diagonal wave lifts them course by course like a gilded ceiling.

  • A seeded board runs the neighbour rules forward generation by generation, then plays the whole run backwards so the loop closes exactly.

  • Two families of cord cross the frame on the diagonal, alternating course by course so one set rides over the other the way knotwork is drawn.

  • Rings spread from the middle of a checkerboard and every square they reach turns edge-on and comes back the other colour, like a wall of flip-dots.
