SOLD – Germantown Textile

By the second quarter of the 19th century, vibrantly dyed woolen yarn manufactured in Germantown, Pennsylvania, poured into the American Southwest, ushering an explosion of creativity in Diné weaving. The expanded color palette allowed weavers unbridled experimentation in color to further activate and expand conventional design fields. The weaver of this textile incorporates complementary colors to energize individual designs while simultaneously maintaining a grounded and cohesive composition. She also creates optical effects of three dimensions in a two-dimensional plane: the lined hatchings of the outermost triangles and the tension of complementary colors turn triangles into three-dimensional squares.
