Ann Mitchell constructed this novelty free-standing sculpture using brown and tan fibers. This "art desk vase" is fashioned like a flat-top hat. The monochromatic palette juxtaposes the two earthy colors in geometric patterns - when viewed from above, a starburst of tan surrounds vase's ledge. A mix of rustic sensibilities and refined weaving structure, this will bring a smile to your face each time you see it.

Ann Mitchell created a large catalogue of sculptural fiber pieces using varied techniques including needleweaving, knotting, and embroidery. A Houston, Texas resident, Mitchell exhibited regionally including the 16th Texas Crafts Exhibition in 1974.
