Exposing Luminosity
Transparencies and cut out volumes provide a strong trend forTINE 2011 Spring Summer collections. As part of a greater investigation into Richard Serra’s architectural sculptures for Dress Body Couture, ‘Exposing Luminosity’ explores the intriguing spaces created by form, or as a memory left behind from cut out material. Diamond motifs feature strongly as a metaphor for refrac-tion and the transference of light through these spaces.
