Description
A contemporary textile artwork titled “Spice (2021)” by Carole Harris. Constructed from an array of printed and solid fabrics, including cotton, linen, wool, and nylon, the piece features a warm, earthy palette punctuated by expressive stitching, frayed edges, and asymmetrical forms. Harris employs techniques of layering, bleaching, and hand embroidery to create a tactile surface that feels both timeworn and contemporary. Echoing the traditions of quilting and the aesthetics of boro mending, the work carries a strong sense of memory, gesture, and cultural narrative. Its irregular silhouette and dynamic internal patchwork speak to Harris’s celebrated ability to expand the boundaries of quilt-based art, elevating cloth into sculptural abstraction. A compelling example of Harris’s mature practice, “Spice” is an exceptional addition for collectors of contemporary fiber art and works grounded in process, texture, and expressive craft. Dimensions: 10"w x 12"h.
