The Colourfold Tiles and Chromatica Triptych explore the relationship between light and colour using the primary colours as a starting point.  They are created from a process of scoring, cutting, folding, layering and stitching together layers of photographic lighting gels and single matte drafting film; a film traditionally used for architectural drawings. Each stage of the process is undertaken by hand to create a seamless surface whose colours appear to slightly change as the angle of illumination changes.
