SOLD – Post Classical Style Textile

It seems natural to compare this work to the geometries found in Paul Klee’s paintings. The weaver, like Klee, uses alternating geometries to activate the optical field and, much like Klee, applies designs across the compositional field, stacking form upon the other. Notice the weaver’s intentional decision to incorporate different hued yarns within the individual serrated block forms, adding additional movement and variability to the all-over design. She also places brown and white geometries on the edges and in the central body of the textile, while weaving blue and white forms everywhere else. The red borders act as the frame of the piece, drawing the eye towards the activated design.
