Platters (yardage)

1

Description

Bold, yet elegant in color and form, Betty Woodman's “Platters” features abstract pastel patterns within bun-like shapes, against an opaque black background. This 5-color screenprinted yardage, first produced as part of the artist's residency in 1980, relates to Woodman's exploration of vessel forms and her intentional blurring of art, craft, beauty and function.
