About the Book
Unbound is a series of experimental works by Rowland Ricketts created through the weaving of historical American coverlet patterns onto a ground cloth based on the cotton plaids and checks that were integral to the triangle trade. Exposed for fading and selectively unwoven, these textiles are a meditation on the process of historicization, the formation of American identity, and the prevailing culture of the image.
