Pattern to Textile

The concept of connectivity is central to the textile design. In the module, the two halves of the drawing are joined by thin black lines which could resemble train tracks. Just as a train takes you to your destination, the series of vertical black lines visually unites the two shapes. On a larger scale, the leading lines match up to create visual movement across the entire composition. These horizontal lines also provide a sense of rhythm to the composition, as they are evenly arranged from left to right. Overlap is evident in the module: two basic shapes are manipulated to form multiple quadrants, each with its own unique characteristics. When the module is rotated and combined in the textile design, the shapes within the module come together to make larger blocks of color.
