PRISM

As light passes through a prism, my work allows light to pass through space.

For  this project I explored methods of capturing light and found  inspiration through the sudden strike of colour bursting through the  monotone architectural appearance of a glass prism. This series of  experimental, structural samples, mixes transparent and opaque layers,  echoing the appearance of light passing through a prism. These  sculptural woven textiles incorporate mixtures of transparent,  reflective nylon monofilament fibres combined with the opacity of  luscious hand-dyed silk. As screens and room dividers, featuring  experimentation with doublecloth, exaggerated pleats and floating  threads, these pieces are intended to separate space and invite people  to move through it, guiding them to move through the room.
