What is a tessellation?
A tessellation is the tiling of a plane using one or more geometric shapes, with no overlaps and no gaps.
M.C. Escher is an artist well known for his tessellation art. Escher examples can be seen at;

It had never occurred to us before that Cluster Puzzles could be (and would be) viewed as tessellation art.
AZPlerp.com was contacted by British tessellation artist and researcher David Bailey after his discovery
of Cluster Puzzles through the internet. David has compiled some history and a number of examples of
Cluster-like puzzles and tessellation art that is available at:
