‘Derngate Squares’
This is inspired by the many versions of the sharp geometry of squares that Macintosh used as motifs, particularly those in the hall and guest bedroom, on surfaces, furniture and furnishings at 78 Derngate. This, together with the clean lines on the front door, surrounding the hall fireplace and on the Domino Clock, and the palette of the stencilled walls of the hall, have influenced her/my design. The work is pieced with commercial fabrics, then appliqued, quilted and surface embellished.
