Abstract
Martin Baker designs tapestries and hires weavers in Teotitlán del Valle, Mexico, to execute the designs. The designs vary from abstract geometric patterns in soft pastels to symbolic depictions of animals, such as buffalo and coyote. The Mexican weavers collaborate on these pieces with Martin, and the designs are influenced by their ideas and traditions. The tapestries are large, generally for architectural commissions.
