Patterns
Fifty original patterns, drawn from Islamic geometry, Japanese joinery, Celtic interlace, Art Deco and architectural ironwork. Every one is built on symmetry, repeats cleanly, and holds its reading at any size.
One pattern can be a pendant, a window screen, or a wall two stories high.

At architectural scale
A pattern you can walk past
A pierced panel carrying the pattern: a room divider, a floor-to-ceiling screen, a window screen, a stair guard, a wall facing, or a run that crosses a long wall.
Every panel is a commission. I draw the pattern for the space it goes into rather than pulling one off a shelf, and you see it standing in your own room before anything gets made.

A screen drawn to make a small apartment into two rooms.
At surface scale
Fabric, paper and cloth
The same patterns become fabric by the yard, wallpaper by the roll, table linens, curtains and cushion covers. Color opens the range here, so a surface design can draw on a wider set of styles than a cut panel can.
Twelve of the patterns are drawn for surface repeat, and these are the strongest of them.

At hand scale
One piece of the field, worn
The smallest version of the same work. A single piece of the pattern is cut from aluminum or brass and sized to the body, so what reads as a whole field on a wall reads as one fragment of it in the hand.
Thirty-five designs, as pendants and as earrings.

Ask about adapting a pattern
Nothing here is fixed. Any pattern on this page can be redrawn for a particular project, at a particular size, in a particular material, and most of them change between the first drawing and the one that gets made.
Tell me which pattern caught your eye and what you want to do with it.algoristanm@gmail.com
