Straps of painted cloth braided in 3 layers
Gamle hvide velvaskede lagner tager smukt imod farve. Jeg maler stofstykkerne så farven skifter henover fladen. Derefter bliver stoffet revet i lige brede strimler og flettet i 3 lag med blide farveovergange eller kraftfulde farvesammenstød, der får billedfladen til at danne trompe l`aeil virkninger.

Mønsteret med kuber er gammelkendt. Det findes som hvid/grå/sotre stengulve i kirker i Rom, er meget brugt som quilt og broderi mønstre og til gulve med indlagt træ. Jeg opnår mønstret ved at flette.

I det her viste billede, der er sammensat af 3 paneler, fotograferet i Lundforlund kirke, har jeg flettet temaet "lys".

Old well washed sheets take color beautifully. I paint the material so the color changes over the surface. Then I tear the material in straps of exactly the same widths and braid with the straps in 3 layers. The braiding will form soft merges of color and bright color clashes and give a trompe l'aiel effect to the picture.

The cube pattern is well known. It is used as grey/black/white tiles on the floors of old churches in Rome, as "tumbling blocks" in quilts and embroideries, and as inlays of various kinds of wood in floors and furniture.

My technique is to braid the pattern.

The picture shown here is in 3 panels photographed in Lundforlund Church. I have braided the theme "Light".
