My linocut portrait of Marjorie Rice with 4 groupings of her 4 pentagonal tiling patterns in pale orange, pink, purple and lime. Her shirt is a pattern of orange butterflies and white daisies on a dark green background. The pattern is based on the orange pentagonal tiling. She is shown in green with a background of yellow at her neckline to lime going up with lines and details overprinted in dark green. She is smiling at the viewer.

Happy birthday to Marjorie Rice (née Jeuck, 1923–2017) who discovered 4 new pentagonal tilings of the Euclidian plane! 🧪🐡👩🏼‍🔬🧮 #histart

The image shows an X-ray of a skull against a black background. Inside the image of the skull is an image of an open hand, facing the viewer with slightly shaded palms. The word "You" outlines the skull and forms a border around the suggested eye sockets. To the left of the skull is written: "Edited by Elizabeth W. Hughes and Alfred Freeborn." In the centre of the lower part of the image is the name of the publisher, "HATJE CANTZ".
