In a beautifully harmonious juxtaposition of two cultures, Islamic
Art Meets British Flowers combines the formal structure and
discipline of Islamic floral pattern-making with British flowers
and architectural forms to create a truly unique series of
artworks. Hadil Tamim, was born in Al-Yarmouk Refugee Camp south of
Damascus, Syria. Her family's heritage is rooted deeply within
occupied Palestine. For the last two decades she has been living in
Reading, UK, where she has turned to her art to create a bridge
between two homes and two cultures. The result is a couple of dozen
breath-taking new works - a new pattern line. They draw on the
architectural forms of the buildings in Reading for structure and
colour, the wildflowers found in and around the town for the
arabesque, and the artist's training in ceramic and Islamic
decorative art. Together with excerpts from her sketchbook and
practical sections on the techniques she uses, along with Adrian's
commentary on the wildflowers, this gift of creativity in a
situation riven with conflict, provides inspiration and hope for
art lovers across the globe.
