WOW! The INSPIRED TILE, MOSIAC & ART
of ROSE HILL!
Tap HERE or the image for much more…
RoseHillPost
Rose’s work captures Black Americana, holds onto it, and turns it around as something positive that reminds the viewer of their love of family, respect for their history, and the universal touch-points that invite discourse and community.
Rose Hill Art is a Gallery and Museum in Sonoma, CA focused on Black Americana, its place in American History and our collective experience.

Mathematicians (D. Smith, J.S. Myers, C.S. Kaplan and C. Goodman-Strauss) have finally discovered an elusive ‘einstein’ tile! A 13-sided tile called “the hat” forms a pattern that covers an infinite plane yet it cannot repeat, making it a long-sought shape known as an “einstein.” A sample of that pattern is shown here. TAP the image for more of the story by Emily Conover. (CC BY 4.0)
ApreiodicTile
Although the name “einstein” conjures up the iconic physicist, it comes from the German ein stein, meaning “one stone,” referring to the single tile. The einstein sits in a weird purgatory between order and disorder. Though the tiles fit neatly together and can cover an infinite plane, they are aperiodic, meaning they can’t form a pattern that repeats. Image courtesy : Robert Fathauer
