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.
