Description

Surface patterns on works of art created in the Islamic world have been prized for centuries for their beauty, refinement, harmony, intricacy, and complexity. The geometric patterns can be equally thought of as both art and science. Metamorphoses 1 celebrates the growth and morph of a small geometric star pattern. The pattern is based on the intersection of two equal squares. The patterns then are combined, duplicated, interlaced, and arranged in intricate combinations that are mathematically precise, aesthetically pleasing, and symbolic.
