Description

Inspired by the procedural repetitive patterns that are quite common on a lot of African fabrics,
‘Askew’ borrows the same principles of using simple shapes and bold colours to create patterns.
In this case, lines of different thicknesses (weights) are recursively drawn throughout the canvas
with segmented breaks in between them. As the name suggests, the lines are rotated along the
canvas giving more presence to the simple lines. All this is brought together by the organised
chaos resulting from the asymmetry and subtle nuances that can be spotted up close.
