Tri Zag

Bands of zigzag triangles, arranged across a three-fold field, the points of one band slotting into the gaps of the next. The repeat is strict; the visual rhythm comes from the alternation.

The figure has the bones of mid-century textile work - the kind of bold, blocky graphic pattern that appeared on printed cottons, woven rugs, and silkscreen prints from the 1950s and ’60s onward. Zigzag plus triangle is one of the oldest visual combinations in pattern history.

At jewelry scale one section lifts out as a pendant. At larger scales the same drawing works as printed cloth, a tile inset, or a wall mural.
