Pattern of Life Kitchen Towels – 3 Pack

The spiral has many meanings across cultures, but often represents the cycle of life or seasons. For Tonawanda/Seneca artist Linley B. Logan, the spiral has a special connection to food. "For a number of years, I passed out the ceremonial strawberry juice for ceremony in Tonawanda's Longhouse," Linley shares. "Food was passed out in a spiral pattern, a pattern of life-giving forces for us: this is the pattern I followed in passing out ceremonial sustenance." That spiral appears on Linley's Pattern of Life Kitchen Towels, which are woven with a spiral swirl pattern that is both traditional and contemporary. "The spiral design is inherent in historical beadwork patterns and designs from my home community Tonawanda," says Linley. The swirl pattern is seen throughout nature: in water, wind, fire and smoke, and how we pass out ceremonial foods. This swirl is Indigenous to my DNA." As a contemporary, multi-disciplinary artist, Linley interprets this traditional design in his modern work, fusing heritage with the here-and-now.  Sold as a set of three, these high-quality cotton kitchen towels are a beautiful Indigenous addition to your kitchen or table." I have always wanted to design Indigenous table setting," Linley says. "I am excited to be able to Indigenize your kitchen and dining room—hearts of the home—with authentic Native designs."
