Cloud-scape is a large-scale textile created using my method of Reconstructed Textiles. Using this method, multiple copies of the same digitally printed image are sliced and reconstructed to create a new textile, transforming the original imagery.
Cloud-scape is a deceptively delicate textile structure that expresses and makes solid the ethereal, fragile presence of a cloud. Structure and image combine to create a hybrid, shifting surface, generating a sensory experience. The work appears as a floating landscape, and its engagement with light and space provides a focus for contemplation, dreaming and wonder. The structure frames images of a land in the process of elemental change.
