Honeycomb Vines

A honeycomb lattice laced with curving vine-like fills that twist into different orientations from cell to cell - order at the lattice, drift in the line.

Honeycomb Vines

A honeycomb lattice - the same hexagonal grid that bees, basket-makers, and pavers have used for centuries - overlaid with curving vine-like fills inside each cell. The lattice stays steady. The vines twist into a different orientation in every cell, so the field reads as ordered from a distance and lively up close.

The combination borrows from two different traditions at once: the strict geometry of an architectural screen, and the looser hand of woven or embroidered textile work. Up close, the vines almost feel hand-drawn; from across the room, the honeycomb takes over.

At jewelry scale a few cells lift out as a pendant. The same drawing scales up to a screen, a tile mural, or a piece of inlaid panelling.
