63 x 69 inches | 1989

An early exploration of the stylized natural forms that continue to inspire her work, this quilt showcases waves, sharp triangles, and spirals in a symmetrically mirrored design. The triangles of the motifs here return as thorns in Sassaman’s later works, the spirals as fern fronds, and the waves as intertwining stems.
