Artwork in image
“Velvet Clusters” textile by Margaret Robinson, 1975. Art in Public Places Collection of the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts. Inspired by the aerial perspective of Chinese landscape scrolls, this work illustrates a combination of stitchery techniques; hand sewing, couching of yarns and machine stitching. It was assembled in overlays of organdy and silk batik on a linen ground supported by a bamboo rod from the forest adjoining the artist’s studio.
