These hand made blueprints are replicas of Moroccan patterns found in Fez. They have been created by first drawing the pattern in graphite pencil to create a negative. This negative is then used to print a cyanotype image on fabric. This process is repeated and the panels are stitched together to create larger pieces.

I have attempted to not only recreate the pattern but to capture the texture and quality of the different mediums used to render them, by the traditional masters in Fez. The hard flat surface of the zelij (mosaic), the softness and depth of plaster and mashrabiya (carved wooden screens).

Works from this series are still available for purchase from Bluethumb
