DETAIL
Description:
Multi-color, geometric
design where triangles of striped fabrics, are carefully placed
together to create larger squares. New sub-patterns emerge
along the seam lines creating optical illusions. Diamonds
seem to appear and disappear. Clean, diagonal lines run across
the surface. Inspiration for this color-rich design came from
the shapes and colors on the traditional belt worn by the
people of Nebaj.
