Since 2014, I’ve traveled to research patterns onsite in Uzbekistan, Portugal, Turkey, Italy, and Spain. For this series, most patterns are based on Moorish designs seen in the Alhambra and Alcazar Palaces in Spain, researched onsite with a BaderFund grant. The resulting mandala-like images are built by overlaying a progression of patterns, and experimenting with interlocking connections between layers to construct a structural weaving of space.
