Textile artwork with flat top and rounded bottom, woven in khaki and deep magenta with a lavender cloud shape, black drips, and faint gold figural lines
Textile work on coarse burlap ground; a pink cross-stitched silhouette of a fish or whale-like shape floats above a deep burgundy fabric band, with two black embroidered vertical forms and loose hanging black threads beneath.
Textile work combining a coarse yellow-green woven ground with a lower panel of draped crimson fabric. An appliquéd fish shape in lavender cross-stitch sits at center, with black crocheted or knotted forms hanging down through both panels. Loose black threads and a single teal thread dangle freely at the edges.
Textile work in deep crimson and burgundy with horizontal stripe patterns, featuring a loosely stitched golden-ochre outline of a figure at center, black thread lines running vertically, and frayed edges with hanging black threads at the bottom hem.
