Memories series

I have used the traditional Muslim prayer stone as a starting point. I borrow the etched images on the prayer stones to create patterns through rubbing and printmaking. The repeated images of the stones create a rhythm leading me in the end, to imagery revealing layers upon layers. They form a pattern or echo words that become evident through this deliberate meditative work process.
