Kenny HarrisFrom my trip last year to Istanbul, and subsequent show at Koplin Del Rio.
This is the side view of an entrance to a 19th Century Mosque. I loved the rather simple door with the elegant script above it, opening into this multi-domed, indirectly-lit porch. Many of the mosques used European architectural elements in Ottoman arrangements so buildings were foreign and familiar at the same time.
