This work draws from the weaving patterns of rabaal fabric, typically used in Senegal for weddings and baptisms.

The fabric covers a bride as she leaves her parents’ home to join her husband or to cover a mother and her newborn. It's a dense fabric, often colourful but sometimes monochrome, woven by artisans whose craft was perfected over generations. Beneath the soothingly repetitive patterns of rabaal, there is elegant mathematics at play.
