About The Artwork

Oil on canvas Living in Morocco, Islam has become somewhat of a fascination. For this diptych I chose the profusion of designs used to represent Islamic countries on flags and paper money, I tried to include every specific elements related to the different designs in flags for Muslim countries. For the background patterns I selected designs from banknotes from Islamic countries. I came to chose this subject matter when embarking on a discussion with a Moroccan friend who claimed that money was worth more in so called western democracies comparatively to the Islamic economies, maybe due to my lack of knowledge of Islamic economies versus non Islamic economies, I believe the world to be relative and Islamic or not, certain economies are stronger than others and it is not in relation to the countries religious context.

I live in Marrakech, I am an autodidact, I am currently learning arabic and Darija (moroccan arabic). Before Morocco I lived in Spain and taught myself Spanish. I do not believe that a meaningful life should be easy, I like a challenge, learning Darija and running the family 'business' has been my greatest challenge so far. I left the U.K. when I was 24, I have travelled through a bit of Europe and now hopefully Africa. As a child I was diagnosed with dyslexia, which was first noticed when I was to take part in a school play where all the other children in my class had lines to learn, I had a noise to make, later my child psychoanalyst would state that my first language had been a visual language.
