In Turkish culture’s the ribbon is used in marriage ceremonies. In other countries they represent the healing of hopes and dreams. They resonate in cultures around the world,
for example the tying the ribbons around trees which marks the new year in the Persian calendar. With a sense of complexity and interconnectedness the entangled ribbons become a maze-like network that can be followed and unravelled with the eye. I form a puzzle system for an audience who can choose to piece together their meaning. I’m forever inspired by the ancient art of Islamic calligraphy. This ancient art communicates using, style with beauty. There are real unexpected moments, as the more you look, the more you find. I love the idea of seeing things that other people just don't see. There's more than what meets the eye... |
