In Moorish castles and houses there is seldom a surface that is undecorated. Tight patterns dominate, as literal pictorial and figurative representations are not allowed. Metaphors and allusions abound. This vessel is ostensibly inspired by shapes of moorish sensibilities, however, the undelying evidence of natural patterning, based on non-geometric repetitions, is at the core which informs the loose decorative elements. After having been in the clutches of perfection doing scientific work for many years, I've become very interested, over time, in the dynamics of repetetive (natural) patterning which does not clone its individual elements precisely, but is still seen as a pattern based on the similarities which loosely connects one element to another ... leopard spots being one example, leaves on a tree another.
Anyway, I'll stop dribbling on incessantly ... here's the work which is informed by whatever it is I just said.
