Pattern-weaving

In these months settling back into the UK after Ecuador have the burning urge to create images with patterns that represent the two different cultures together... here's an experiment made while staying at George's house, the figure in the centre is apparently a replica Lewis chess piece, and the blanket in the background is from the Mercado Artesenal in Guayaquil, the map is London.

I tried interweaving the Willow Pattern cause oddly that reminds me of early childhood in Scotland when Mum made cardboard props in blue and white based on these patterns for a school play at Compass. It didn't quite work this time round though - will try again in another piece.
