Kathy Schicker
London textile designer Kathy Schicker's light-reactive woven textiles appear to be beautiful white jacquard fabrics, but when they are exposed to sunlight, the light brings out colour and pattern. At the same time, the sunlight charges the fabric, causing it to glow in the dark. The effect is usually quite subtle, but will vary depending on the time of day and season.

Oxford Street, 2003
Cotton; Jacquard woven on an industrial loom; 33" x 62". Knudson is interested in the realm of the subconscious, in things that exist in the imagination: stories, other worlds. This piece is based on a drawing she did after walking for hours on a crowded sidewalk in London with faces of strangers flashing in front of her and disappearing. Photo: Sage Crum.
