The undyed ground between the stripes keeps its natural cotton colour, giving the piece a clean rhythm. Where the wax edge softened during the process, the boundary between stripe and ground has a barely there blur that no print could replicate.

every piece carries a slightly different balance

and the black grounds it completely by the hem

The best ones are the ones that gave just a fraction
