Damascus, Syria

Geometric design and calligraphy are the premier artforms of the Muslim world. But, you have to look closely to see the Arabic script under the red and blue rings. Enclosing it all is a floral Arabesque. Although the plaster cast will end up in someone's home, its production becomes a piece of public art on the streets of old Damascus. [1993]
