A field before the motif
Four hand-woven tark strips keep the saturated indigo ground visible beneath every cut edge.
Field note 02 / reading the tark
The pattern carries place
A panel is architecture in cloth: built by hand, meant to be read at room scale.
02
Scale makes the room ceremonial
Each medallion is drawn for a suradeq wall, never reduced to a fine repeat for a screen.
03
The stitch is part of the line
Needle-turned cotton and running outlines leave a measured trace around every layer.
04
A small dye set, held boldly
Indigo, 1920s orange, madder red, and undyed cotton do the work without pastel dilution.
