White 100% Linen Tea Towel featuring Pueblo Bonito, Chaco Canyon in Black Ink

The high desert connects with its inhabitants in unique ways. The haunting feeling of this landscape comes from its ability to preserve a sense of vast time and memory in the silence and distance of its open spaces and in the water carved sandstone canyons. In the area of the Chaco Canyon a civilization etched into the landscape a memory of their culture, preserved by the climate, and still speaking to us in a language of form that is abstract but also visceral.

This tea towel combines the ancient form of the site with its inherently graphic qualities. Removing the pueblo from its context allows the language of the form to speak to everyone differently. To some the graphic resembles a meteorite. Others recognize Pueblo Bonito and it surfaces their own connections to place. This study is straining to decipher what lies in an echo of another time and place, another world.
