  1. It's not too late to sign up to my #SquareKufic class, which kicks off Friday on Zoom and doesn't require prior knowledge of Arabic. Based on the tradition as it flourished in #Khorasan between the 13th and 16th centuries, we'll learn to work with multiple grids and how to get creative with the script without breaking it.

    ALL THINGS PASS AWAY زوال — #Silver leaf (tarnished) and #gold leaf on paper, 50x50cm.

  5. I'll kick off this account by sharing a few recent #artworks. This piece is from a series that reflects on the #loss of our world and what may emerge from the ruins:
    LOSS فقد — #PlantDyes, gold leaf and cut paper, 50x50 cm.
    It was assembled a year ago (see last pic for fresh hues) and left exposed to sunlight: the fragile plant colours become muted and fade, but the genuine gold of the seed-like dots will endure and stand out all the more.
