Dorothy HughesWW-1981-111058

<p>Chicago-based artist Dorothy Hughes creates what she calls “sculptural tapestry . . . drawn from the complex order of contrasts and harmony found within the life of natural forms.” Here, Hughes overlapped 37 woven strips to create a textural composition, clustering them together and even threading them through each other, resulting in deep shadows. The coarse weave that results conveys an earthy solidity that is echoed in Hughes’s shades of brown.</p>
