Textile, Giant Leaf
This is a Textile. It was designed by D.D. Tillett and Leslie Tillett. It is dated 1970–1979 and we acquired it in 2015. Its medium is cotton and its technique is hand-pulled stripe, screen printed, on plain weave. It is a part of the Textiles department.
In its scale, Giant Leaf calls to mind another screen-print company working in the 1970s—Marimekko. But while Marimekko’s designs used a bold, flat graphic style, drawing was central to the Tilletts’ work. The naturalistic treatment of the leaves and broken, graphite-like quality of the black outlining conveys a strong sense of the artist’s hand.
