Ornamental Mixtapes v2.2
“Ornamental Mixtapes is a series of works inspired by repeating ornamental motifs drawn from antique Persian carpets. I imagined the delicate tendrils of flowers and leaves growing outward, breaking away from the symmetry toward a more organic form. The pieces are hand drawn then algorithmically processed. They are cut, layer by layer, using a specialised laser machine with a single layer taking up to seven hours to cut. The cut paper layers are finished by hand and glued in a delicate collaging technique so that, when assembled, the many motifs and tendrils appear almost carved."
