Project Scope
Colour, movement and memory
Colour inspiration can be found anywhere. For Confluence, it emerged during my travels through Japan. The palette draws from the subtle, layered tones of silk Temari balls I encountered in Matsumoto, hand-made objects where colour and geometry are beautifully balanced.
Confluence builds on a signature Kukka composition, first developed in murals and tapestries, and developed further here as a study of movement and colour interaction. Lines move across the surface, intersect and unfold, while gradients build gradually to create a calm, continuous rhythm.
The design responds to light and touch. As the pile moves, colours appear differently, adding a sense of depth and variation to the composition.
A study in balance between structure and softness, between graphic precision and a more atmospheric reading.
