Valence
Rectangular textile with black and white design. The top section contains multiple scenes with various figures and animals in white on a black background, divided into sections by vertical lines of text. The bottom section features a repeating pattern of arches. The scenes depict people and animals, including trees, birds, and other creatures. The figures are shown engaging in activities such as playing instruments, interacting with each other and with animals. The text, written in white, appears to be a poem or lyrics by artist Arion, and is positioned vertically and horizontally along the length of the textile. The overall design is intricate and detailed, with a mix of natural and figurative elements. The title "Valence" is associated with this textile.
