SHIPIBO: GRASSCLOTH SAMPLE

Shipibo takes reference from intricate ceremonial ayahuasca embroideries made by the Peruvian tribe of the same name. Their repetitive, maze-like embroidery technique is used as a form of spiritual meditation, and what results are beautifully complex geometric designs interlaced with finely detailed linework.

Our design references not only the geometry of these embroideries themselves, but also mimics the repetitive task in the making of our linoleum block. The Shipibo motif is intricately carved by hand on linoleum and stamped repeatedly to create multiple motifs that vary between dark and light based on the pressure of the hand that prints.
