Icosahedron with perfect Islamic geometric symmetry. Trying to make use of colours that make the work pop instead of resorting to black/white or wood-based colours.

Some of my favourite laser engraved paper prototypes that helped me imagine and realise my final pieces!

More work from my Final Major Project at Arts University Plymouth. These mesmerising pieces are made up of meticulously inlaid veneers of wood that are inserted into laser engraved plywood.

Each artwork was initially digitally drawn up by me over many many hours which then were transferred into a usable format to be laser engraved - which took another 5 and a half hours!

The work is greatly inspired by computer scientist/mathematician Craig S Kaplan (@csk) and his generative zellij work. My work displays that the algorithmic potential of Islamic Geometric Patterns and the time-tested traditions of woodcrafts can belong together in an artistic context.

Here are a few piece of my work towards my Final Major Project at university. Inspired by works by Dana Awartani, this work is the ultimate culmination of my time studying Craft/Materials at AUP in Plymouth and was displayed during the Graduate Summer Show last year.

I thank @trinityfranklinphoto over on Instagram for helping me assemble some of these pieces and photographing them. She is a star and I'm truly fortunate to have someone of that talent in my life
