“A personal project made after research into Brazilian Indian tribes. I created an embroidered alphabet inspired by their body paintings, basketry and crafts, which have intricate, geometric patterns. I used a rustic fabric to signify their art of basketry and the colors red and black to represent their mostly natural pigments. The final result was similar to a tapestry, with a pattern made from letters and numbers.”
