It's time again for piece of the week. This week a blast from the past. This is from the first series I worked on after my final show in college, the series was called Rose Windows and was inspired by rose windows in cathedrals but then focusing more on geometry and patterns and mixing in some Middle Eastern/Islamic designs. This took a fair amount of doing, I love complex designs but they are complex and rather tricky to execute. I think I was copying a design I saw in a book by Keith Critchlow.
