These pieces were made as an artist appreciation project, and sought inspiration from the artist Abdoulaye Konate, specifically his piece titled "Marrakech" (left). I sought direct inspiration from the color palette, but additionally recreated the motion of strips of fabric in his work through the repeated vertical satin stitch. My composition however was more inspired by the broad concept of communication throughout his work particularly though his choice of materials. My designs are abstract interpretations of hypothetical motifs and symbols used as a form of communication.
