“Breathing Patchwork” can be seen as an amalgamation of the tradition of the family patchwork quilt, and home-made stained glass windows.
A wall of illuminated artwork is built up using the modular light tiles. Each light tile is made of a small, framed 150x150mm transparent OLED emitter. Layered onto this is a sheet of clear acrylic, onto which an image can be painted using standard water based acrylics.
During the day the artwork is translucent in the same way that a traditional stained glass window pane is, but at night and in low light, the OLED emitter can be turned on to create a backlit “stained glass” mosaic.
Each acrylic panel can be removed from the frame and washed clean with warm water. New artwork can then be applied with zero material wastage.
Each OLED tile is modular, and additional units can be placed in any pattern along the wall. The frame has contacts on each of its four sides allowing for limitless customisation of the wall within the constraints of the power supply and OLED driver tile.
Breathing Patchwork can be used to display children's artwork, family patchworks, or any other artwork of personal and emotional relevance.
