British artist Susan Allix says of Egyptian Green that “the idea of this book is to link past with present and to make a picture; a limited one when looking at the richness of Egypt, but a view that is seen and stitched together with a thread of green.” Green is not a color that one immediately associates with the desert landscape of Egypt, but nonetheless, says Allix, it exists there -- the Nile River Delta, as well as the significance of green in the Islamic tradition.
