Tapestry.

Tapestries – those colourful, richly detailed picture and wall carpets are produced from a very time-consuming and filigree technique and then fill the rooms with blossoming gardens and abstract ornaments on fine textures. The work ‚Tapestry‘ in the East Wing of the DA, Art House Convent Gravenhorst, is a long band of projected glass drawings. The ornaments of this carpet woven from light, become ever more colourful, from one end of the hall, where they are kept in light and dark, to the other, until the carpet ornament dissolves and starts to twine up the refectory‘s outside wall as colourful flowers and trees. On the other side of the wall, inside the refectory proper, analogous to the outer wall, the visitor is welcomed by the ‚Sunken Garden‘ (see page 66). The carpet of light, which is projected by ten profile spotlights onto wall and floor of the nearly 40 m long hall, appears in the incipient dusk like an unreal apparition. As the ambient light changes and it gets darker outside, the carpet‘s light grows ever more present, until finally, in the darkness, the carpet has developed its full luuminosity
and the room has almost disappeared.
