The works of Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher (1898-1972) stands alone among artistic movements of the 20th century. In the geometric phenomena of symmetry, infinity, and paradoxes of perspective, Escher found rich material for his almost supernatural images. He used observations of the visible world, his own imagination or a combination of the two to create a masterful deception of the human eye. These ties were produced in cooperation with the M.C. Escher Foundation in Baarn, Holland. A portion of the sales of these ties supports the foundation.

Derived from Escher's design for a painted concrete pillar in the building of the Bureau of Water Management in Haarlem, Netherlands (1962). The design incorporates three water-related motifs (Symmetry Nos. 111, 112, 113) that flow into one another to create a vertical metamorphosis from bird and flying fish into boat and flying fish and finally into boat and fish.

When European explorers began to trade for furs along the narrow coastline areas now known as the Northwest Coast, they found a tribal population of more than fifty thousand people participating in the some of richest and most distinctive cultures in North America. These cultures had an organized system of art and design that pervaded both the ceremonial and daily lives of the tribal societies. Today, art remains an important force in the lives of the peoples of the Northwest Coast.
Based on a woodcut by Tlingket artist Lincoln Wallace
