The Red City Collection
The Magic of the Medina
Inspired by the Marrakech medina—its alleys and architecture—the collection is hand silkscreened and collaged. This collection is available for purchase as original art or for reproduction of prints.
In Marrakech, the prosaic turns ethereal. The narrow alleys are a labyrinth that enchants and confuses the senses. We get lost, and found, and lost again as we wander through. Light and shadows bounce off the fortress walls. We see slivers of sky but mostly walls. Walls that have lived, witnessed generations of passerbys. Their hues—all shades of pinkish reds and rose ochres—blend together layered and deep.

Marrakech
“In the arid dust I can see a shimmer of you in the distance, the red of your hair mixing with the ochre earth. Amid the noise and collision of caravansary in Jemaa el-Fna I hear your soft drawl joking with Snake charmers, always in hustle. In souks the sweetness of fennel and myrrh swirl in the wake of travellers steps and I'm reminded of your desert scent, like cedar and musk covered dust.
In the dissonance of the call to prayer I can feel your awe as struck as mine, while the roiling sound of voices lifted in faith erupt over the Medina
In the coolness of Jardin Majorelle, I can feel your head resting on my shoulder as I contemplate the reflection of Lotus blossoms in stark blue pools
I see your eyes in the green of the Atlas Mountains, echo your amazement at Saharan navigation, feel your peace as the stars appear over the Riad
But can't feel your hand in mine as the sun sets over Marrakech”
