“In this series of works, a very recognisable central component of a door or arch found frequently in traditional Middle Eastern architecture is contrasted with use of algorithmic processing for the top pattern placement. The works are made of laser cut paper pieces layered over hand poured ink on mylar.
The fading effect in the patterning is based on a density map (in the form of a black to white gradient) directing where the pattern should be the fullest or ‘faded away.’ This hand-drawn density map is then processed using algorithms--this allows the ink layer to show (or be hidden) through cuts in the paper."
