The "Lower X" piece finds some of its inspiration from through the traditional Litema patterns of Lesotho. It is a modern interpretation where the fabric and its design are represented by the lower East Side buildings and spaces. It's repetitive pattern and dynamic colors is scattered around the canvas as homage to this vernacular geometry.
