M.C. Escher for a third time, but that isn't why this is titled "Space Island 3" - simply that it took three major attempts, several years apart, the first by hand, measuring lines with rulers, both for their straightness and their precise length, then a scanned version to see what could be done to make the waterfall stand out from the sky (my drawing techniques are very limited, but the technology is infinitely skilful!); and finally this version, insisting on colour because, if we are going to inflict humanity on the rest of the cosmos, can we at least take our art and our wisdom with us, and leave behind our pollution, our global warming, and our general tendency to turn everywhere we colonise into a toilet.
