Ornamental Mixtapes

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 eight 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.
