Big print #2 (Maui Fern – Cotton “Mainsail Cloth” Fall 1949 Design Dorothy Draper, Courtesy Schumacher & Co)
A large-format chromogenic print by Annette Kelm presents a bold, mid-century textile pattern originally designed by Dorothy Draper for Schumacher & Co. in 1949, featuring lush tropical ferns rendered in vivid, saturated color. Kelm's photographic reproduction of the fabric flattens the material into a graphic, almost painterly surface, blurring the boundary between textile design and fine art photography. The work reflects Kelm's ongoing investigation into the relationship between image, object, and the cultural histories embedded in decorative and commercial design.
