Depending on the viewpoint and position of the light source, dramatic changes can be seen in the colour of the fabrics and their levels of translucency, some even appearing to emit light of their own.
These images are of one fabric from four different viewpoints.
Below is another fabric from two viewpoints, one is backlit, the other is not. The yarn is handmade, and the image is printed onto the yarn prior to weaving.
This piece below is hand woven, again with the image hand printed onto the yarn before it is wove. The image begins to appear as the fabric is being woven. Then it is lasercut and backlit to look like tiny dots of light on the surface of the fabric.
A woven oil puddle...
The piece below is shot twice, once with back lighting and once with front lightling. This causes two very different effects. When lit from the back, it turns purple, and when lit from the front it reflects light back at the light source, in the same way cyclists safety jackets do.
Another reflective piece...
The next images show how different the fabric looks when it is reflecting and when it is not.
