Dusk Flight is a silk shibori hanging textile piece by artist Rebecca Cross. It is created by hand dying raw silk, and encasing objects within the silk as the dye dries. After the piece is dry, the objects are released, creating permanent three dimensional texture within the textile. Cross is well known for her silk shibori method, and her pieces reflect a meditative beauty and elegant structure in any contemporary setting.
