Negative Design
Example of a negative design in embroidery.
A negative design is an artistic device whereby the design is formed by filling in the background to that design, rather than the design itself. The use of negative designs can be seen, for example, in Assisi embroidery and some forms of Fes embroidery. Also known as void work.
