Excellent. Fitted with a hanging sleeve and batten.
Provenance
Acquired from the artist by the present owner, 2021.
The artist
Rashid weaves large wall hangings on a floor loom, in hand-spun wool and sisal dyed with plants she grows herself. Her hangings are bands of colour that change slowly from one end to the other, named after seasons.
