<p>The design of this textile conjures a vision of dancers prancing across a stage with its curling wisps of soft black and white fibers paired with ethereal pink and gray forms. The title of the work, coupled with the fluid and intersecting forms, suggest bodies engaged in practiced and choreographed movement.</p>
