Kuna Molas

Looking forward to collecting some of these Kuna Mola textiles in South America. Women from the San Blas Islands off Panama create these by cutting and appliqueing colourful fabrics into geometric and pictorial patterns that articulate the Kuna understanding of the world.
The first two images are from the Textile Museum of Canada current show 'Drawing with Scissors, Molas from Kuna Yala.
