    It really conveys the landscape, but also somehow the etnographic signature of the place. Another intricate marvel of yours!

    Drawn to the colors and textures

    The shapes are reminders of monument valley but the textures make me think of woven fabrics. The colorful cloth that you see in the western area. Creative work on a loom. Handmade rugs rolled up to sell. Even the threads to repair and add . Like a collage of the scenery and culture.

    Hi Caesar, thanks for stopping by I was as Marilyn Anne points out collapse the human and geologic fabric of a place into a single expression.

    Thanks I was aiming to make that kind of collage yet keep it expressive and loose.

    Awesome. I look at this and the title leads me and I get what you were after. Very strong. But I also get the shape of a llama on the right at sunset or sunrise. Love the fiddly lines. Makes for a nice bundle of yarn on a crazy loom. Go man go! Maybe even a merry-go-round carousel horse thingy. Also very possible in my mind's eye springboarding off this.
