Lantern Grid

No. 6 of 50 · free · 300 dpi

What you seeHanging lanterns with six and eight glazed sides, lit and unlit, drawn in black on a chequerboard of cobalt blue and pale paper, the blue cells printed around the lanterns so that they show as clear paper.

What it meansPierced and glazed metal lanterns have lit courtyards, stairways and doorways across the Muslim world for centuries, and in Egypt the fanous became the lantern of Ramadan nights.

Where it worksAbove a hall table, in a kitchen or along a dining wall, where a print with plenty to look at rewards a closer look.
