Reversible Cubes 2018 is part of Dovecot Patterns, a selection of tapestries created by Dovecot weavers which evokes a cultural conversation through pattern that reaches back thousands of years.
For this work Weaver Ben Hymers created a pattern illusionary in nature, referring to geometric patterns on Ancient Greek mosaics. Playing with scale, colour palette and tone, Reversible Cubes is a technically accomplished piece which references ancient patterns in a contemporary way.
Reversible Cubes will be included in Dovecot’s curated selection of works for Collect 2021, international art fair for contemporary craft and design, online until 26 March.
