  • About the artist
    Ex-Royal College of Art graduate, Henna Nadeem lives in London. Many of her works use found images sourced from old books and National Geographic magazines which she hand cuts into intricate patterns and layers one over the other. This ‘lo-tech’ process involving scissors, scalpel and tweezers creates imaginary landscapes from small, often fragile images. Landscape and pattern define her work and distinguish her Cockspur Street designs. Entitled Heaven n Earth, they occupy the sixth and first floor meeting rooms. An Islamic symbol of heaven, the divided circles on the top floor create a star-burst sky in colours inspired by London sunsets. The first floor design will incorporate landscape forms in earthier colours. This is one of Nadeem’s larger-scale projects: others include a Platform for Art commission for Piccadilly Underground station; and a decorative gate for a community project in Brick Lane, east London.
