Lattice Labyrinths are mathematical art, patterns repeating like wallpaper designs. Each is based on just two numbers (e.g. your birthday) and yet can be dazzlingly intricate. Applications have included giftwrap, fabric design, household tiling and a spectacular festival shade structure in Australian. I hope not only to sell products realised by myself and computer artist Mike Susko but also to meet graphic designers who can “Escherise” Lattice Labyrinths and architects who could realise clients’ significant dates in pavings or tilings, the investigation of which would be an adventure in mathematical education. Oh, and buy the book(s)!

Even if you were thoughtless enough to be born on the 2nd. of January or the 1st of February, this cryptic design is specially for you.
