About this work

You see a hand-drawn clover pattern, repeated in neat rows across the page, each leaf shaped like a soft triangle with tiny dots and lines inside. This drawing was made in 1974 by Alex Mylonas as a design for a carpet, part of her effort to blend art with everyday objects. She wanted artwork to be part of ordinary life, not just galleries—so she sketched patterns that could be used on furniture, fabrics, or dishes. The dots and fine lines show she used careful techniques to build texture and depth. Look up the technique: stippling.
