Ember Loom, Red Mirrored Pattern

A square pattern made of vertical columns of mirrored shapes on a rich red background. Amber almond or leaf forms alternate with small gold, violet and orange star-like bursts and rounded cells outlined in thin, curving lines. The whole surface looks smooth and glowing, like backlit glass or dyed fabric.

A saturated, glowing red square that reads like backlit glass or dyed cloth. Most red abstracts are loose washes or bold blocks. This one is orderly: mirrored columns of amber almond shapes, tiny gold and violet starbursts and rounded cells, all drawn with fine curving lines. Someone wants it for the colour first, a deep warm red that seems lit from behind. Then the precise, woven-looking repetition keeps their eye moving up and down the columns. It suits a person who wants a wall to carry strong colour and still hold up to a longer look.
