Irene Schaefer

The image shows a pattern of interlocking circular shapes with intersecting lines dividing them into petal-like segments. The design resembles a series of flowers with red petals outlined by white spaces. The layout gives the impression of a quilt or tiled surface reminiscent of lace or fabric patterns.
