About this piece
Yellow squares float on blue like a checkerboard that learned to dance.
Ewe weavers of Ghana, West Africa, made this strip-woven cloth in cotton in the 20th century. Ewe cloth is woven on narrow looms in long strips, then sewn edge to edge, and is commonly worn wrapped as a garment for important occasions. The pattern here is a regular grid of bright yellow blocks set against deep blue, with small bars of color breaking up some of the squares. The strips line up crisply.
About 73 by 109 inches. Throw it over a sofa and nothing else needs to compete.
