The challenge of this design was to represent the diversity of materials produced over the years from a wide range of gifted artists. Each individual creation was stunning, but when collaged the colors’ relationships did not work together and the forms of the various materials were too complex. Also, without being applied to an object like an umbrella or a chair, the material had no form. To reduce this complexity to a common denominator while maintaining the integrity of the original designs, we stretched the material over square panels made of foam core, then printed the photographic image in black and white.
The color frame enclosing the construction offered the infinite color possibilities available to the artist.
