Ancient Assyrian Patterns
Using patterns seen in ancient Assyrian artwork, this continuing series considers the idea of a never-ending origin. It has captured Rabel’s imagination and fired it in infinite directions, propelling his work from a phase of experimentation into a passion that envisions immortality: by bringing new form and new life to centuries-old relics, Rabel ensures that his culture lives forever. Carefully chosen, each pattern is scanned or photographed, then redrawn. Using Adobe® Illustrator®, each is then made into a seamless pattern.
