The silk screen triptych, Contemplation,<br />

has come together after visits to the abbey<br />

ruins of North Yorkshire. It is a combination<br />

of their various architectural details. I chose<br />

the golden hour of early evening light to<br />

influence colour.<br />

RACHEL MORRELL<br />

Contemplation<br />

Textile<br />

80cm x 60cm<br />

The silk is dyed in varied yellow gold<br />

shades and then over printed using batik<br />

wax resist. Textured fabrics are collaged<br />

over the batik. Finally the pieces are both<br />

machine and hand embroidered. The three<br />

panels are hinged together so it can be free<br />

standing.<br />

The ruins in greys, creams and peach<br />

contrast with the yellow gold light of<br />

evening on the translucent silk.<br />
