Turban c. 20th century

This *Turban*, made by an anonymous artist, invites us into a world of pattern and cloth. The way the red and gold intersect creates a lively visual rhythm, a kind of improvisational dance across the surface. I’m really drawn to the texture here. It's not something we can touch, but we can see it. The way the light filters through the fabric suggests a certain delicacy, a gossamer quality. The intersections of the lines aren’t perfect, they wobble and shift, which gives the whole thing a handmade, human feel. It reminds me that art isn't always about precision; it's about feeling and flow. Thinking about art as a conversation, it makes me consider the work of someone like Sheila Hicks. Both artists play with line, colour, and texture, creating works that are simultaneously decorative and deeply expressive. Art is like a song that evolves over time, each artist adding their own verse to the melody.
