#islamicartweek2025 Working drawing from my lesson with the amazing Aslam Qureshi. The tessellated pattern is taken from the Al Hussein Mosque in Cairo. Delightfully intricate to draft.. I will post a photo when I’ve figured it out!! #islamicgeometry #islamicgeometricpatterns #islamicart

#islamicartweek2025 Fascinating lesson yesterday with wonderful artist Aziza Iqbal drafting a geometric motif from Masjid-I-Sayyad Mosque, Isfahan. Plenty of mistakes, but I’ve found that I enjoy the process and geometry more than the result, which surprised me. Can’t wait for more #islamicgeometry

This paper has been 10 years in the making! Thanks to my co-author Peter Marshall (radiocarbon dating guru), to Historic England who funded the dates, to @dorsetmuseum.bsky.social who hold the archive, and to AHRC for funding my PhD research (where this project originated).

The paper discusses Flagstones in the context of other proto-henges such as Stonehenge and Llandygai, explores small ringforms with cremation burials, and presents a new date on nearby Alington Avenue long enclosure. Also ideas about where this new large circular monument came from - poss. Ireland?

Hooray! Our paper detailing new dates for Flagstones enclosure in Dorset has been published in @antiquityj.bsky.social today. It shows that Flagstones is middle Neolithic, built and used for burial around 3200 BC, earlier than expected. Open access: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Today, it’s a cute little #acrylic #gouache study of a #mossy #ash #tree trunk outside my cottage. I love the pattern and colours that the #lichens and #mosses bring to it.

A quick watercolour study of a little sprig of Common Ivy (hedera helix) that attached itself to my boots earlier today. Getting back into wet painting after working digitally for the last few years. #watercolour #ivy #hedera #illustration #botanicalart #botanicalillustration

(3/3) This was a fascinating, demanding #reconstruction #illustration to work on, and I’m very happy to be able to share it with you.

(2/3) The #reconstruction shows the #RomanoBritish settlement near the present-day Humberston Road, south of #Grimsby, and depicts a #Roman ‘control point’ gateway on the main road through the #flooded #coastal #saltmarsh landscape.

Wonderful thread about water and drainage in the rural landscape. Thank you @drsueoosthuizen.bsky.social
THREAD. There’s so much water in the fields at present - fields are floating in water. Here in the east of England it’s a practical lesson explaining so much about land use before under-field drainage began in the 17thC.
