Islamic Window Designs



These beautifully carved "windows" I saw when in the V&A. Recently I have been working with these images and today had a screen made, taking inspiration from the first image. They are so intricate yet simple. I have planes of taking these classic examples and expressing them through modern screen printing - possibly using neon green paint layered on top of a garishly patterned fabric- also there is possibilities with just printing on white and bonding the new material to and existing one by using the embellisher.

  1. idea of transparency ....being able to see through the solid wood. Possibly incorporate an element of cutting out layers??
