These handmade lace textiles are created by braiding and twisting lengths of thread wound on bobbins. The figures produced by this delicate bobbin lace technique appear to float in the middle of an open-weave checkerboard. Derived from cutwork, the understated organic pattern integrates varying degrees of negative space into the weaving.
