Pattern Inspiration

A visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo amazed me with many of the ancient objects’ surprisingly modern patterns and opulent colors, created from precious and semi-precious stones and metals. An interpretation of the patterning adorning a cabinet from King Tut’s tomb, this pattern feels at once exotic and contemporary, with its glimpse through a geometric screen overlaying a rich semi-precious stone background.
