The theme of my exhibition shows the cultural symbolism of design and materials. Focusing on design, patterns, materials, motifs, and technique. The three pieces of art all reveal shared qualities that show into the weaving of cloths in different cultures. The similarities between the three are the symmetrical and ornate designs along with the materials used. These designs show a high quality pattern and emphasis on symmetry and symbolism. The floral and birds on the design might show into nature and the beauty of it. The difference in color and texture shows different techniques and quality of the textiles. The gold weaving is exclusive to wealthy people due to the price and quality of the materials. Although there are differences in the materials, design, and technique of being made all of these textiles show how pattern has been appreciated through all different cultures and time periods.
