Textile structures Diagonale 4 (Diagonal 4), 1985
65 x 61 cm
Cotton and paper streamers

The Diagonals series was born during the carnival of 1985, when in a small stationery store I found some section-printed rolls of paper streamers. When I experimented with them in overshot I discovered that they formed beautiful, complex and totally random geometric patterns. Later on, I developed that idea together with Paola Bonfante and Lalla Ranza in Diagonali 91
