I agree that Metamorphose would look spectacular, but I doubt I have
anything like enough monochrome plates to build it at a scale that would do
it justice :-( And there's quite a lot of hexagonal symmetry in this (and
many other Escher pictures) that's really quite hard to get across
convincingly in Lego.
I have to admit I've never really got into the mosaic thing - it seems just
a bit mechanical. We do have a half-baked idea for a _partly_ mosaic Escher
picture, though probably not the one you first think of. There are several
pictures where I think this could work to reflect the contrast Escher
deliberately keeps drawing between 2 and 3 dimensions.
