Colors are limited to just a few in Moroccan Zellij tilework and they repeat throughout each pattern. Patterns are thoughtfully laid next to one another to create a deceptively simple design scheme that in reality is visually complex and intricate. I have been working to edit my planting plans, simplifying both color and placement. This tile work taught me valuable lessons about repetition and the need to be a ruthless editor. Well edited, with an eye to juxtaposition of different scaled tiles, the mathematically derived and repeated visual thought carried out throughout the tiling process can be applied to both a planting design or a simple brick or bluestone patio of a single color.
Used either monochromatically or as two colors combined, the interest comes from the repetition of shapes and the application of scale, ➸ P H OTO G R A P HS BY S U SAN CO H AN
