Hot Still Scape Blue

This print is part of the African Collection which was inspired by a group of undocumented textiles from the north of Ivory Coast. Their graphic and rhythmic mood brought to my mind a vision of Mondrian first arriving in New York and hearing Boogie-Woogie music for the first time. Hot Stillscape is a pattern of coloured and striped squares in a subtly irregular checkerboard with whip-stitched seams for a rustic feel, printed on a mix of linen and cotton in a Panama weave.
