Description

Artist Statement:

This series explores relationships of affinity and tension. I am fascinated how even small variations in the angle and weight of the lines can change the energy and mood of the composition. This chosen orientation is quite benign. Rotate the work 180 degrees and the red figure becomes more overbearing and the yellow figure is backing away.

Exhibitions:

Australia Wide Five presented by Ozquilt Network Inc 2016-2018.

My first full day in Marrakech was completed by a My first full day in Marrakech was completed by a 3 hour food tour. A multi-sensory experience meandering through the medina. And, yes, I did get a teensy bit lost making my way back to the riad afterwards… @moroccanfoodadventures

Z is for Zellige 🇲🇦 As someone who grew up Z is for Zellige 🇲🇦

As someone who grew up in New Zealand, I have a special affinity for the letter Z. I am delighted to add a new Z word to my vocabulary following my recent sojourn in Morocco.
 
Zellige (other spellings are available) is a traditional art form of hand-chiseled mosaic tilework, made from natural clay, hand-molded, hand-glazed, and individually cut into small geometric pieces to create vibrant, complex patterns. Such tile work is found across Morocco and I viewed especially fine examples in:
- Bahia Palace, Marrakech
- Saadian Tombs, Marrakech
- Ben Youssef Madrasa, Marrakech
- Mausoleum of Mohammed V, Rabat

I also enjoyed the mosaics and tile work in the Roman ruins of Volubilis.
