Description
A contemporary textile artwork titled “Boro Etude (2018)” by Carole Harris. Inspired by the Japanese tradition of boro, the practice of mending and reworking textiles, Harris assembles an intricate collage of distressed fabrics in warm hues of gold, red, and deep indigo. The surface is animated by visible hand-stitching, frayed edges, and tonal variations created through bleaching and layering, resulting in a richly tactile and dimensional composition. Harris’s intuitive approach to rhythm and structure, rooted in both quilting traditions and the improvisational spirit of jazz, gives the work a dynamic, sculptural presence within its minimalist frame. “Boro Etude” exemplifies her celebrated ability to merge cultural reference, craftsmanship, and contemporary abstraction through textile. A compelling acquisition for collectors of contemporary fiber art and works that foreground materiality and process. Dimensions: 9"w x 13"h.
