Shawl (Llklla) 1965 - 1975

This 'Shawl (Llklla)' was crafted anonymously with fiber, showcasing the beauty of textile art. The way the colors and patterns interact is so intriguing; it's like a conversation unfolding across the surface. There's something deeply satisfying about how the horizontal bands break up the solid black ground with these intricate designs. It makes me think about the act of making, the way each thread is carefully placed to build up the overall image. Look at the bands of zig-zagging ochre and white, they remind me of the push and pull I experience in my own art practice. These design elements create a rhythm that moves across the fabric like musical notation. It brings to mind the work of Anni Albers who explored the intersection of weaving and abstraction. This piece invites us to appreciate the artistry embedded in everyday objects. It's a reminder that art can be found in the most unexpected places, enriching our lives in subtle yet profound ways.
