Light Reflections,
Hand-Face-Body,
An exhibition of textile-based art
Gladstone Hotel
October 12 to 26, 2006

The design of this piece explores the transfer of a photographic image onto a fabric surface by integrating the use of light reflective yarns and polyester yarns on the jacquard loom. The perceived image of the morning light reflection/ absorption on to the ocean varies according to day and indoor lighting conditions as well as the position of the viewer, revealing the ambivalent light reflection qualities of water.
