Textile sample (#NC-149) 1972

This textile sample presents us with a field of brown circles, interconnected by a subtle grid of lines. These circular forms, set against a lighter ground, immediately evoke primordial symbols of wholeness, continuity, and the cosmos itself. Consider how the circle, a universal motif, appears across cultures and epochs. From ancient sun disks representing divine power to mandalas symbolizing the universe, the circle embodies concepts of unity and perfection. Here, the repetition of circles within a grid introduces another layer—the tension between individual and collective, order and chaos. Think of these circles as cellular structures, each containing a miniature cosmos. This composition speaks to our deep-seated longing for harmony, echoing in our collective memory and engaging our subconscious minds. The pattern invites us to reflect on the cyclical nature of existence.
