Borders celebrates the beauty of seams of fabric by referring to an old tradition: small strips of textiles, which are woven on a hand-loom, are linked by embroidery to create larger fabrics. Because backstrap weaving produces a narrow cloth, two or more pieces are often hand embroidered together using a heavy decorative stitch.
Borders is an industrial translation of this localized craft technique. The embroidered lines that traverse Borders’ surface are archetypal motifs culled from different genres, including a botanical, a dotted line, and pied de poule, forming an irregular grid of unique compositions.
