“I’m sort of writing on history here. This is a historical image—anyone who knows the history of textiles will know this image,” says Ziek. “The Chinese used it, the Italians used it, the Safavids (of 16th to 18th century Iran) used it. Everyone is copying each other in textiles. I’m doing the same thing, but adding a description of how it’s made over the top of it.”
