Visual Description

A sculpture of light tan straws arranged in sixteen squares, trimmed in a black frame. In each square, the straws are woven together using Pasefika weaving techniques and layered upon one another in rows of three, sometimes four. Each square faces a different direction causing the straws to jut out in differing ways and sometimes overlap, resembling patches on a quilt.

Materials

Coconut husk, straws (plastic and paper), tī leaves
