A follow-up to the Paravent tapestries (2005). Each fabric contains two layers of felt. They are linked by an embroidered pattern, which contains several misfits. Some parts of the first layer have been cut away using a laser technique. This creates the impression of layering which gave rise to the name of the fabrics.
