”Marble Light” is based on experiencing the<br />
effects of light as it travels through intricately<br />
carved marble screens, in architectural<br />
spaces such as at the Taj Mahal. In translating<br />
the image through yarns woven on a<br />
computer-assisted h<strong>and</strong>-jacquard loom, the<br />
visual becomes tactile <strong>and</strong> sensual: dark <strong>and</strong><br />
light shadows dance on constructed surfaces,<br />
hard <strong>and</strong> soft.<br />
