Dagobert Peche, Diana mit Hirsch (Diana with Stag).

This lace panel on linen balances mathematical tension with a soulful narrative. Every thread functions as a geometric line, mapping the creative intent and precision of the lace matrix.

A mid-nineteenth century pha houm or sleeping blanket with a bold elephant design woven by T’ai Daeng people from the Sam Neua region, Hua Phan Province, Lao PDR. Richardson Collection.

The blanket is decorated with powerful animistic motifs, typical of the T’ai Daeng. This probably indicates that its primary purpose was ceremonial, rather than utilitarian, perhaps to cover a body before cremation or for use in a special ritual. This is probably why the textile has been given suspension loops at one end.

Joan Potter Loveless, Bay Area

(c. 1960–1970).

This wool tapestry reflects the structural philosophy developed under the mentorship of Anni Albers and Trude Guermonprez at Black Mountain College. The work uses organic textures and muted wool to define an abstract landscape.

Peony Flower design by Kate Faulkner (1841-1898) for Morris & Co. as a printed cotton furnishing fabric. Kate was a talented artist who worked in a variety of media for Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co including wood engraving, embroidery, gesso painting, tile painting, wallpaper design, fabric design, and china painting.

Kate's brother Charles Faulkner was a friend of William Morris from their days at Oxford and he was the Faulkner in the title of the firm. Their sibling Lucy was an artist and author. As well as Peony, Kate designed Carnation and Mallow as patterns for the firm.

I wish I had a photo of Kate to post but I have never come across one, if anyone has one then please share!
