Description: Article about the significance of locality and social relationship in textile designs in Eastern Indonesia. Author: Krista Knirck-Bumke.
Knirck-Bumke, Krista: Stripes and Patterns (click on the small image for full screen image with captions.) Ikat cloth from all over Eastern Indonesia reveals a striking similarity in basic elements of layout. The majority of textiles are composed of stripes of various widths laid out in the warp, which in the final garment appear horizontally on the wearer. Skirts and shoulder cloths alike are made as rectangular cloths with bands of ikat patterns, which interchange with a variety of small monochrome stripes. In most of the textiles, bands of solid blue/black or red/brown colour of various sizes are included in the design. In general the ikated patterns range from very simple dots to small geometric shapes or very large geometrical and pictorial motifs, so that the widths of the bands are dependant on the type of pattern. Some of the simpler and smaller ikated bands are repeated several times all over the textiles, whereas the main motif in the normally widest band of a woman’s skirt is restricted to two areas at each side of the cloth in symmetrical order.
