Hösig Di Palm Fiber Basket-Geometric Style
Wounaan Culture

5.75 "H x 7.75"W

Silk-stitch coil construction, finely woven geometric featuring the "Caracol" (Snail) design
derived from ceremony and body painting tradition. The alternating positive-negative spatialities
created by the three dominant repetitive patterns remind us that M.C. Escher may have
studied aboriginal motifs. It's doubtful that these indigenous people studied M.C. Escher.
