This project investigates aspects of Islamic geometric pattern, which is usually part of a flat surface, and researched changing perceptions of it when applied to a curved surface: i.e. what happens when a surface which has the illusion of three-dimensionality is part of a surface that itself occupies real three-dimensional space.

Recent developments in ceramic print technology have exploited the use of ceramic enamel as a replacement for toner in colour laser printers. Although very cost-effective for complex single prints, the quality is not always very good. Large areas of flat colour can appear very thin and accurate colour rendering can be difficult. This project proposes a hybrid approach using traditional silkscreen printing with digital approaches, to allow the production of large images broken down into individual circular elements that are capable of being applied to standard industrially produced plates.

The aim of this project was to research perceptions of contained space and volume when the containing object is moved from the horizontal surface of the table to the vertical surface of the wall, the normal domain of painting. Investigations made use of the interplay of a strong linear motif contained within a circle, contained within a square. Two of the works resulting from these investigations were multi-part pieces that built on findings from Wavelength, Binary Shift and Tectonic Drift.
