Description: | The differently coloured sides of this textile suggest that it consists of two separately woven pieces of cloth; these two sides were in fact woven together as a single weave on a special grid structure. This technique creates tension in the yarns, which when removed from the grid, force the squares to become raised. This technique was inspired by natural form; the blue squares represent areas of dark solidified lava breaking open to reveal molten lava glowing below.
