About this composition

A maâlem cuts zellij with a sharpened hammer, one tessera at a time, from a pattern he holds in his head. The chips come off fast and hard. Follow them up the frame and they stop being ceramic somewhere around the middle: by the top they are storks, which nest on every minaret and ruin in the country and are the one bird nobody in Morocco will touch.

Original Berbernest work

Composed from a brief written for this collection, in the manner of mid-century photomontage. The source, substitution and final composition are original to Berbernest; no other artist’s collage is reproduced.

A contemporary Berbernest composition. Save it to revisit while prints are unavailable.
