I'm equally left and right-brained so this article was such a pleasant read for me. Eglash, wrote the book African Fractals and I was so excited to see that he'd also written about artist John Biggers.

Three abstract figures in patterned gowns sit amid geometric shapes and star motifs, with warm light illuminating the scene. Each figures' hands are intertwined with string, which is connected to a large spool and which they each also bite with their teeth. The image is heavy with textile motifs of quilts and fabric.
