PAISLEY - whether you call it a pattern, design or motif, its intrigued me since before I could read.
Its been a very long time though since my regular paisley affirmation posts dropped off. It wasnt due to lack of intention but rather, the inability of search engines to pull up new content.
For whatever reason, I have had some fresh success in finding some things to share. I genuinely hope these were written by actual reflecting human beings.
Just keep in mind, like most human endeavours, the story of paisley is more complex than one might think. Competing claims of origin, ownership, colonialism, adaptation, integration and reinterpretation all seem to be there. Ive shared a V&A deconstruction previously, but I will just run through some of the various pieces in these posts.
