Pin Cushion

Eva Wilson

National Gallery of Art

The image features a central square composed of intricate, interlocking blue shapes arranged in a grid pattern. The square is bordered by complex, feathery gray lines that radiate outward. The pattern evokes the appearance of a softly cushioned pillow or decorative quilt. The combination of blues and grays creates a harmonious balance, with the outer feathery pattern expanding from the structured center. There is a smaller, similar pattern in the lower right corner.
