Description'Interval III' is a large-scale Jacquard tapestry, woven with wool, cotton, silk and Lurex. The work originates in collage and is a composite of fragments, brought together to create a visual world that is at once precise and enigmatic. Like the wider 'Interval' series, it is underpinned by loose categories of imagery: early photographic portraiture, underground caves and architectural ruins. The formal construct of the group portrait, with its projection of status and stability, is punctured at once by the deep time of geological formations and the crumbling structures of the contemporary.
