SOLD – Textile

The all-over composition of this textile resembles Frank Stella’s edge-to-edge and large stripe paintings. While Stella acquired this textile nearly a decade after helping develop a new style of painting in the 1960s, he may have admired this textile in relation to his own work: bold and confident color choices and geometrically proportionate half-chevron designs covering the entire design field. Notice the weaver’s deliberate decision to outline only two of the half-chevron designs in blue, while using white yarn for all other outlines. This balances and grounds the top and bottom of the textile together.
