The idea of 'painting with fabric' led to the development of this technique where the portrait image is created through the intricate pleating and pressing of a single length of tulle fabric.
The technique aims to utilise the translucent qualities of the tulle fabric to generate various gradients, tones and textures.
Rembrandt seemed an appropriate figure to depict in the first of these works, to reference his pioneering approach in conveying the extremes of light and shade.
