this project was inspired by a trip to Seville, I was taken with the warm summer colours of the city as well as the beautiful tiles covering all buildings in sight. I developed this long-term palette from a mix of research and inspiration from seville and developed drawings and paintings directly from my photos as well as sixteenth century Spanish tile archives. I used this project as a time to develop a dense portfolio of drawings and particularly focused on gouache painting. I imagine these drawings to be used as prints as well as artwork and decorative surface for all things across the home; tiles, ceramics, textiles and furniture.
