In every civilization and culture,
colored tilings and patterns appear
among the earliest decorations…
Art is the imposing
of a pattern on experience,
and our aesthetic enjoyment
is recognition of the pattern.
Alfred North Whitehead
The word "tessella" means "small square".
A tessellation or tiling is the careful juxtaposition of shapes in a pattern. The act of adorning with mosaic as by using small squares of stone, ceramic, glass or just a drawing.
Each child is an adventure into a better life – an opportunity to change the old pattern and make it new.
Hubert H. Humphrey
