Threading stories

This series is an ongoing one, exploring organically formed colourfields on metal leaf, cut through geometrically with Japanese thread. The light bounces off the works in ever changing degrees and angles allowing the viewer an ever changing scape to contemplate. The journey of creating them was one of meditation and joy. Relinquishing control by allowing the shapes to form through flow on the surfaces, and then consciously cutting shapes across the surfaces with fine thread, creating patterns only visible from some angles.
