“I have always been fascinated by Mousharabiah screens and their intricate geometrical patterns, which are common in traditional Middle Eastern homes, and are designed to provide privacy and protection. By re-appropriating and re-using one of their patterns, I carved the same linoleum plate in ten different stages, then printed each one, and showcased a group of refugees on the move. These images were screen printed in red and gold (to represent their emergency blankets).”
