Shaker Kerchief c. 1936

Lucille Chabot's "Shaker Kerchief" (c. 1936) is a minimalist textile piece depicting a simple plaid pattern in shades of blue and white. The work exemplifies Chabot's interest in geometric forms and her appreciation for the Shaker aesthetic, known for its simplicity and functionality. The composition is a study in repetition, with the consistent grid pattern emphasizing the underlying structure of the textile. Chabot's work explores the beauty found in everyday objects and materials, elevating the ordinary to an artistic plane.
