Take several steps back from this piece and observe it. Look up and down at it and see the unexpected movement!
While the rows on this sculpture are staggered, they are all parallel to each other. That they converge, bend, and move is known as the “Café Wall Illusion.” It has also been known as the “Shifted Checkerboard Figure” and “Kindergarten Illusion” since it was sometimes seen in the weaving of kindergarten students. This title was inspired by a café in Bristol, England. There, bricks in a wall are painted black and white, creating this illusion.
Having seen drawings of this illusion many times over the years, I was motivated to make it come to life in three dimensions.
