Persian Pandemonium

This collection references the art and artefacts of ancient Persia, drawing on the rich, jewel-like colour palettes, the intricate details and the beautiful craftsmanship of the region. Hand-knotted Persian rugs, carved and painted tile work, embroidered and tasseled fabrics and complex metalwork were all influences when creating this work. Items from the Victoria and Albert Museum and the British Museum also played a large part, alongside the painted works of Horace Vernet and delicate Persian miniatures.
