The thesis paper titled Flutter explores French colonial textiles in relation to the Andalusian "zellige" (tiles). Using these art forms to create historical interventions I question the structures of power that shaped the visual language of empires. The body of work made as part of this thesis uses printmaking and motion graphics to reconstruct and deconstruct these systems of pattern and music, to explore a space for both to visually interact. This work grows out of an ongoing investigation of how the reading of cultural symbolism like ones found in historical signifiers (a sign's physical form such as a sound, printed word, or image as distinct from its meaning) like in such motifs are in states of flux and seek to discover new readings. / acase@tulane.edu
