24” x 40” Jacquard weaving on a walnut frame with Farsi laser cut.
This piece is a collaborative project with Ilyra Carlton, a Furniture Design major at SCAD. The fan’s pattern draws inspiration from the Iranian flag pre-Revolution, featuring the Lion and Sun motif. It blends traditional American tattoo style with Persian symbolism. The design originated from a series of sketches, which were scanned and refined in Photoshop, then processed through multiple digital programs to develop the final pattern. The fabric was then woven, cut, hemmed, and mounted onto a handcrafted walnut wooden frame.
