My interest in geometric borders and tiles began with a virtual Vayu Residency in Kashan (2022). Famed for its medieval tiles, I responded to the early ceramic technology’s not-yet-perfected process, where bleeding and smudging across shaped or drawn boundaries sometimes occurred. The work comprises a European textile fashioned by female labour which displays carefully crafted geometric borders. Glass objects are used to distort perspective, relocating geometric borders and incorporating the viewer into the reflective scene.
