A close-up detail of an undyed field, its surface built from a repeating basket-like structure of thick ivory loops accented by small taupe stitches that appear at regular intervals across the whole expanse. A circular inset magnifies a section of this same pattern, revealing the texture more closely, and the plain woven edge is visible along the left and lower right margins. No border, motif, or inscription is discernible beyond this uniform grid-like surface.

Jute, Off White & Brown Cotton, Camel Sisal
Grey and Chocolate Brown Sisal
The surface presents an open, basket-like grid of thick, twisted strands running in two directions, their natural variegation producing an irregular play of light and dark tones across the field. A detail inset at lower right isolates a single crossing point, showing the strands' loose twist and the small gaps left between them. The selvages along the edges show the strand ends turning back on themselves in a plain overcast finish.
Banana Straw & Cotton
A close-up detail circle at lower right isolates a single crossing of thick horizontal cords over pale vertical strands, showing how the two elements interlock. The surrounding surface repeats this open lattice at a smaller scale, with tan and honey-brown bundles running horizontally against thinner cream threads set vertically. Slight variation in the tone of the bundles, ranging from golden to darker umber, gives the grid a mottled, irregular texture rather than a uniform color.
Banana Straw & Cotton
The surface presents an open basketweave lattice, ivory strands crossing bands of tan and amber straw-like material in a repeating diagonal, brick-like pattern. Small gaps between the crossings let light pass through the structure, giving the field a loose, airy checkerwork appearance. A circular inset at lower right offers a magnified view of the same weave, highlighting the twisted texture of the straw segments against the smoother pale threads. The edges show a simple looped selvage in the same ivory tone.
Sisal
The surface presents an even herringbone-braided texture, its plied strands running in tight diagonal rows across the entire field, with no distinct border or central motif separating from the overall ground. A circular inset at lower right offers a close-up of the braided cords, showing individual fibers twisting together in a warm, uniform tan tone throughout.
Couro Grey Leather Sisal
The surface presents a tight herringbone plait of twisted natural-toned strands interlaced with narrow flat ribbons in a pale taupe tone, producing a diagonal basketweave pattern across the whole field. No border is set apart from the field; the pattern runs edge to edge, terminating in a slightly irregular, hand-finished selvage. A circular inset in the lower right magnifies the weave, showing the twisted cords crossing over the flat strips in a clear over-under rhythm.
70% Cattail, 30% Cotton
50% Cattail, 50% Cotton
The surface is composed of alternating horizontal bands in black and undyed white, each stripe angled to a soft point at either edge so the rows meet in a jagged, tooth-like rhythm. A close-up inset at lower right reveals the twisted, ribbed texture of the individual strands, showing how the dark and light elements interlock along each band. The edges are finished with small twisted rosettes where the strands terminate.
