Sydney Artist Exhibits Islamic Inspired Surfboards
Surfboards designed by Sydney artist Phillip George are exhibited at Casula Powerhouse Art Gallery in Sydney, Australia. George designed the range of 30 'Inshallah' or 'God Willing' boards in response to his trips to the Middle East, and to the Cronulla Race Riots in 2005, in an effort to create a lesser divide between East and West. As an artist, he decorates the boards with Islamic motifs and iconography from the historic mosques he visited. His boards are currently exhibited at the Casula Powerhouse arts centre in an exhibition called 'Borderlands', with all boards facing to Mecca.
