Ambigraph at the 3rd Annual Workshop on Geometric Pattern in Islamic Art, Istanbul

Over the summer months, I have been beavering away on a new body of print work created by relief printing from lasercut tiles. The shapes of the tiles arise from different symmetries and result in different vocabularies of form which can be configured into a rich language of pattern. The prints above are all available for sale in short limited runs of between 5 and 10 prints.

I’m also very pleased to announce that I have been invited to speak at the 3rd Annual Workshop on Geometric Pattern in Islamic Art at the Istanbul Design Centre starting on Saturday 20th September. This provides an ideal opportunity to present this project and the resulting prints, as well as giving an insight into the process I have developed.

In addition, I will be teaching two pattern drawing workshops which involve creating geometric patterns using the traditional tools of ruler and compass.

There are some great speakers, not least Jean-Marc Castera whose incredible tome Arabesques has been a great influence on this project. I’m very honoured and excited to be involved in this event. Many thanks to Mirek Majewski for inviting me and for supporting my work.
