Farwa Moledina is a contemporary artist who takes imagery from art history, architecture and culture and makes them into intricate repeated patterns in textile and paper that reframe familiar stories and histories. Her reoccurring motifs reflect themes of culture, family and faith.
The Wilson’s Pattern Repeat exhibition features a new motif by the artist made from images of objects in The Wilson collection. This unique design takes inspiration from the Islamic eight point star and adopts principles of Islamic design including recurrence, symmetry and abstraction.
Moledina presents historic works from the collection alongside her own, and curates highlights from The Wilson Print collection including works by Rembrandt, Turner and a selection of influential women artists.
