Swatch

Drawing inspiration from carpet swatches, this piece reimagines the classic check pattern. Fabric becomes the canvas, creating a tactile representation of design elements traditionally seen in interiors, blurring the lines between art and function. 

Linen cotton fabric, cotton thread, cotton batting, oak framed with art grade glass.

Textile artist Shayla Bond adeptly merges design ethos with fibre, preserving heritage craft techniques while casting them in a contemporary light.
Her work, deeply rooted in themes of perfectionism, control, and obsession, is vividly communicated through the use of color, precision, and repetition.
Shayla's contemporary quilts fluidly move from floor to bed to wall to furniture, challenging and expanding the conventional roles of quilts.
