Trim 6 started out as a motif that was created by the artist. The design was drawn by
hand with pen and ink and repeated using vellum paper to create Strip Patterns.
The Trim 6 design reminds me of my visit to Ghana, Africa. I learned about geometric
symmetries in African Art. Repetitive patterns that go in one direction are called Strip
Patterns. There are infinite translations for these man-made patterns. I decided to
create my own strip pattern in repeat.
