WOVEN STRIPES + BANDS (2.63MB)

 

This log presents a diversity of woven textiles showing warp stripes and weft bands from various countries and time periods. Libby O'Bryan was the primary researcher of images. Emily Nachison added material, color corrected, and formatted the images with text. Olivia Valentine worked from this image bank to create the flat screen display in the exhibition.
