Making and printing repeating patterns that fit consecutively into themselves is one of my favorite kinds of prints to make and even look at. I become engrossed in looking at textile patterns as well as textural prints. For this project I wanted to use some of my fiber based photo screens to emulate the panels and sections of a quilt. In this example I have used the texture of burlap to panel across the silk, changing color as it goes. The dye fades into itself, and together with the string fiber a landscape is suggested.
