Featuring a poem by Persian Sufi poet Hafiz, this collection is based around the traditional teardrop or seed-of-life pattern found in Persian, Indian and Welsh fabrics (also called paisley or Welsh pears). The ocean, the fish, and my trademark calligraphic section complete the design. The colour palette references a theme I’ve discovered in the history of porcelain: from an obscure Persian dish, found again in collectors’ Gaudy Welsh items, and finishing with a sumptuous French vase which updates these previous designs into a Baroque version.
