Chapter 12

Getting caught up for week 8 (Tues Oct 4th)
Chapter 12

12.8 Basin made for Sultan etc. 1320 – 41

comparing / contrasting to
12.9 Susan Ewing’s Winged Pitcher and Sugar Container 1991 (artist picture-image unavail.)

Comparing I would say both are unique, sharp edges yet curvy too, functional, decorative pattern that is gold and silver,
But the ewing pitcher and sugar containers have winged edges that could be used as handles. The Basin has writing or symbols that are significant to someone in particular /a culture.


For fiber, the 12.12 Tunic from Peru

and the 12.13 The Unicorn in captivity

are appealing for their complex patterns and unique design. They both have the circular softer shapes within a rectangular geometric shape. Color variances also appeal to me, especially the Unicorn piece that has white to attract to center, while the other has white to direct attention around and through. I particularly like the Unicorn’s horn vertically paralleling the trees.
