    01 — The idea

    The bird's body is the loom. Three bars run through the silhouette as warp threads.

    Client

    A natural-dye textile studio

    Construction

    One uniform stroke for outline, bars and beak alike, the bars stopping short of the right edge so they read as threads passing through.
