Varied Landscapes: Digital images form craft works

Curators Pascale Wakim and Nicolas Bellavance-Lecompte commissioned the Landscapes series of tables and vases from Paris-based architect and designer India Mahdavi. The tiled tables mimic natural variegation and undulating fields, while the modular vases reference the blocks and towers of the haphazard city.

The artist collaborated with the Iznik Foundation to produce traditional Turkish-style tiles for the tables using natural quartz to create the vivid colours. Mahdavi spent her childhood in 11 different countries, and these works communicate her experience of moving between cultures with all their vibrancy and variation.
