Tile with Openwork Arabesque (c.1200)
Some Iranian tilework has three-dimensional patterning. In this case, the decoration is an arabesque - a symmetrical composition of spiralling tendrils interlaced with stylised leaves.
Similar designs are found in stucco (a fine plaster), but the openwork would have been very fragile if made this way.
The fired, glazed ceramic is a stronger material, allowing the complex carving to survive for more than eight centuries.

Epic Iran
(May - September 2021)
Epic Iran explores 5,000 years of Iranian art, design and culture, bringing together over 300 objects from ancient, Islamic and contemporary Iran.
Iran was home to one of the great historic civilisations, yet its monumental artistic achievements remain unknown to many. Epic Iran explores this civilisation and the country's journey into the 21st century, from the earliest known writing – signalling the beginning of history in Iran – through to the 1979 Revolution and beyond. Ranging from sculpture, ceramics and carpets, to textiles, photography and film, the works in this exhibition reflect the country's vibrant historic culture, architectural splendours, the abundance of myth, poetry and tradition that have been central to Iranian identity for millennia, and the evolving, self-renewing culture evident today.

A quick visit to the old Tile Works at Barton-on-Humber before crossing the magnificent Humber Bridge. There is evidence of a narrow gauge tailway around the surviving Tile Works structures.
This tilework was built into the Castle wall at the villa where we were staying. Most buildings had some sort of artwork embedded in them.

Islamic architecture is truly something special. Repetition is made art and every effort is put into making sure everything is completely balanced and symmetrical. In the Shah Abbas mosque, named after the last of the Safavid dynasty, even though a lot of things are going on in the intricate tile work and the amazing detail, one cannot help to find himself with a strange feeling of peace when contemplating the place. Everything just fits.
1. Measure twice, cut once,
2. Break once or twice,
3. Stay calm
4. Keep shaving it until it fits.
5. If you don't want to do it, call me instead.
