A checkerboard pattern in warm browns, tans, and cream shifts and warps across the composition as if viewed through rippling water, creating a hypnotic optical illusion. The squares appear to undulate and twist, their edges bending inward and outward, generating a sense of movement and depth that challenges the flatness of the surface. Crafted from durable canvas-like poly-poplin and made to order, double-stitched with a cotton webbing strap. The everyday haul, from groceries to the beach, carrying an independent artist's work.
