Description: In a chromatic range first used in Interferences in 2018, the lines of force resemble those of the Magma series: they evoke the trickle of a liquid cooling, as if halted by the temperature or the wind.
In the top-left corner,the contrasting texture of the two 17 x 27 square blocks assembled in classic fashion, contrive to produce a watermark effect, like a throwback to another, smoother cap of ice.
The broken lines of the quilting follow the diagonals through individual square or pairs of juxtaposed squares.
