Medina is a magnificent pattern of irregular rectangles printed on linen — a powerful, abstract evocation of the Kasbahs of North Africa. The irregularity is the point: the blocks stack and shift like buildings seen from a rooftop, never settling into a mechanical grid, and the linen ground gives the composition its earthen, sunstruck character. It is bold without being loud, and it holds a wall or a sofa with real authority.
