40. Suzani
May 2019

Scarf #40 is a silkscreen with handcoloring. The motif comes from a book on Uzbek textiles and pictures a type of Central Asian embroidery traditionally included in a brides’s dowry, called SUZANI. I’ve just purchased a ticket to Dushanbe, Tajikistan, and will spend almost three weeks this June traveling around the Silk Road in search of suzani and other inspirations.
