Want to See My Eschers?

Way, way back when I was in high school [wasn't that during the mesozoic era" -ed.] I was a fan of Maurits Cornelis Escher (better known as MC Escher, no relation to MC Hammer - ed.). But this site here has gone one better and actually built models of some of his objects.

The thing is, some of the models look like the originals only from certain angles, which is logical since many of Escher's object could not exist in our reality. Hence, I'm not sure what point is trying to be made. Is it to show that some of them can be made? If so, so what? I dunno.

Still, it is interesting to look at and you can probably guess where my wallpaper for the week comes from...
