Print
A rectangular woodblock printed rayon textile features four horizontal bands of repeating abstract geometric forms against a cream background. Overlapping rectangles and L-shapes in muted green and mustard yellow create a dense, rhythmic composition. Within these forms, fine diagonal hatching and small dot grids alternate with vertical ink streaks characteristic of the printing process. This architectural pattern repeats consistently across the fabric's entire width.
