About artwork: This print was made during an art residency in Cork printmaking I had last Summer, I worked on a series of symbolic elements through drawing, decorative writing, inspired by the traditional practice of oriental manuscript, including Arabic Calligraphy, architecture and organic pigments! as a part of personal identity and calling the past, Dar Al-Ùshk is representing an imaginary traditional house from hometown, Alep, inspired by the wooden dome, decorative motif, and fountain! blended together w
