Inspired by Morocco




Following my trip to Morocco, i began to work with the idea of the highly detailed amount of pattern that you can find over there. Colour was another important aspect of my work and i think it always is.

These are some of the samples which i created. I especially like the origami papers. I had screen printed the designs and then folded the paper up into two different types of stars. I thought that stars would be appropriate as it is a Muslim city. I wanted to make a shape which fitted with the theme of Morocco.

This black image was a cut out which was done on the laser cutter and mounted onto white paper. I also did this is reverse and i think that they look very effective next to each other.

I was happy with how this project turned out, yet i think there could have been a lot more scope for me to try new things. Even though i took a lot of photos out there, i think i was a bit limited to ones which i could actually use within my work.
