small table cloth
Description:
A small hand made white table cloth with a patterned art design made by Teresa Summerskill and it was donated by Laura Burden. On the front of the cloth has a heart and swirl-like pattern intersecting in the middle and along the sides, in which it could have been possibly inspired by folk art. Folk art encompasses art produced from an indigenous culture or by peasants or other laboring tradespeople. In contrast to fine art, folk art is primarily utilitarian and decorative rather than purely aesthetic. It is characterized by a naïve style, in which traditional rules of proportion and perspective are not employed. Folk art mainly expresses cultural identity, such as sharing community values, by using various materials of wood, clay, metal, paper, and other resources. It reflects traditional art forms of diverse community groups of ethnic, tribal, religious, occupational, geographical, age- or gender-based, who identify with each other and society at large. The patterned design has the colours red and dark blue. The material could possibly be made out of 100% polyester. For donor biography see description for 021.10.01.
