Description: Squares sitting within a geometric grid of strips that join them up. Starting from a palette of stained glass blocks used by Josef Albers on a smaller scale, this study of light draws inspiration from glass-staining techniques. Selected over five years, the textiles each have their own texture, sheen and vibrations to match. The harmony of colours lets a lot of light through, with the onlooker first seeing transparency then being drawn to opacity, their gaze guided by the network of uncompromising lines.

To join the three layers and add relief, the quilting criss-crosses each square to form nine smaller ones, with the straight black strips cutting through it.
