Using a Wallpaper Maze as a Canvas
The Knot Maze printable download for the Maze Enthusiast
The bulk of my art mazes are halftone mazes, where the thickness of the walls is modulated such that the maze as a whole, when viewed from a distance or at small scale, renders a tonal image. And for many of these halftone mazes, I tend to use wallpaper mazes as their basis.
A panel maze (which is what I call a maze that is limited to a finite area) has the advantage that we can make it a ‘perfect maze’ (with no loops or isolated areas). But what I like most about a wallpaper maze is that I can make it slanted (which is an aesthetic preference of mine) but still have it fill a (usually rectangular) canvas right up to the edges.

The Knot Maze is an early example of such a halftone maze based on a wallpaper maze. Of course, the final art maze is no longer a wallpaper (ie it doesn’t seamlessly repeat any more), nor is it a ‘perfect maze’ as a whole. So you can’t enter the maze at any point you like but need to start from one of the two small markers and find your way to the other one. Enjoy!
