NOTES
Stalks of wheat form a sketchy mesh across a field of fiery orange and yellow in this printed cotton fabric by Trinidad-born designer Althea McNish. McNish was a close observer of nature, relishing the rare plants cultivated in Britain’s many botanical gardens as well as her adopted home’s common flora. The painterly strokes and intense colors of Golden Harvest Textile were inspired by a walk through a Sussex wheat field: “I can feel it now, how the sun was shining down on me and how I seemed lost in the wheat. Nobody could see me!”
