During a meeting with Virginia Reh & David Vivian, one photograph showing stairs reminded David of M.C. Escher:

| Dizzy, by Joy of the Mundane |

Escher was well-known for his drawings and wood cuttings that explored and challenged visual perceptions of three dimensional scenes on two dimensional media. Many of his artworks seem to feed on themselves, move in impossible directions, or lead the eye in one direction only to find oneself back in the original location (Moebius strips). David asked if such a design aesthetic could be considered in The Blue Room, do its own circular nature, appearing to move along in changing directions but coming back to the original Girl at the beginning of the play; not in terms of directly using Escher in the design (because the would open a whole can of legal worms), but just in terms of thinking about an approach.
