size 23cm x 130 cm 3 layers

wax resist on silk

'LightShapes' consists of three overlaid lengths of translucent silk georgette. Each layer has a different sequence of nine resist dyed images. Each layer can be glimpsed through the one above, adding to the visual complexity.. The first layer is monochrome, the second rose, the third cyan. The underlying colours can be glimpsed through the graduated pattern on the monochrome layer. As the silk is unrolled, the layers lifted, the separate images which make up the whole are revealed. Wrapping the three fabric layers is the paper design.
