East London urban arts collective, Wood Street Walls have collaborated with Walthamstow based and internationally recognised artist Zarah Hussain to participate in this year's Pick Your Pattern project, in partnership with Amal, an initiative that supports Muslim cultures and arts in the UK, including storytelling, visual arts, theatre, poetry, music, dance and film.
Pick Your Pattern 2017 will be promoted throughout London and the public is encouraged to vote on one of the four designs created by Zarah Hussain.
Vote
Every individual that votes will be entered into a prize draw to win £100 shopping credit at The Mall. People will be able to vote online via the Pick Your Pattern website, or vote in person by downloading the form or completing a Pick Your Pattern Postcard which will be delivered to thousands of households in Walthamstow and the surrounding areas with the support of Local Estate Agent Stow Brothers. Completed forms can be delivered to a drop off point located in The Mall, Walthamstow.
About the Artist
The work of Zarah Hussain is at the intersection between science and spirituality, combining contemporary digital art with a rigorous training in traditional Islamic geometry drawn by hand. Her work encompasses a range of forms, from looping infinite animations made with code, to sculpture, painting and interactive apps. Her work uses mathematics that celebrate the order and structure found in the universe to create a range of work based on infinite repeating patterns.
