I’ve long been obsessed with the patterns created in Islamic art - because Islam bans representational art, a huge tradition of abstract pattern making sprung up, and many mosques and other buildings in the Islamic world are covered with these amazing interlocking patterns.
I used to love trying to draw and paint these (always rather unsuccesfully) when I was about 20, and in Tunisia I searched out as many examples as I could. I also remember Guy making a beautiful website with a similarly patterned background. But I’d forgotten them over the last couple of years. Then, while searching Google for a way to build interlocking weaved shapes in Illustrator (unsuccesfully so far - can anyone help?) I came across this web site. Awesome.
