Waves II at BECA

One of my small woven and stitched pieces is now on exhibit at BECA: Bridge for Emerging Contemporary Art   in Albuquerque, NM, USA. Wave II  Yasmin Sabur 2011 This is the second in the Wave Series.

Recycled cotton; hand dyed using a low water immersion process; cut into strips; hand woven and hand stitched. 10.75X8.25 inches January 2011
