back next	Islam #9 © 1973 Tom Ferguson  My careless photo skills are on display here again... some reflected light falling on the image.   I was deciphering Islamic patterning, from my note/sketch books from that Morocco trip, and this one I decided to overlay a flag   referencing, tongue-in-cheek, Jaspar Johns  - funny that the number of stars in the pattern is 50. They really only stand out in the blue   area whereas in the red area circles are more evident, overlapping circles, then flower-like pedals. That multi-layered ambiguity is   part of what draws me to the kind of imagery I saw in Morocco, in hotel floor tile and in the more elaborate tomb in Marakech.
