Yemen Untold Stories

Yemen Untold Stories explores the artist’s Middle Eastern heritage. Inspired by the the vibrant colours and patterns of Yemeni textiles, Botz says, ‘I enjoyed exploring and developing the use of triangular shapes which seem to be a recurring pattern throughout the textiles. Some of the shapes in the work are beginning to disintegrate, I wanted to give a sense that identity is not fixed and ones sense of self can break down and re-emerge into something new and different.’

Botz has created a dynamic visual image with an appealing retro feel. Check out the shop page to see this work in a range of home or office settings
