This quilt is a distillation of the reflection in the surrounding lily pond of the Tomba Brion, near Treviso in Italy, designed by Carlo Scarpa in the 1970s. Using two favourite jackets belonging to the artist Simon Starling, we have grouped structured elements of the building alongside the natural foliage of the Lilys.

As with Quilts 15 and 32 that describe an experience from within a vanished piece of architecture, we decided to explore the architecture of the tomb through it’s reflection in water, rather than the building itself.

Continuing with structure surrounding a burial ground, the reverse of this quilt describes two of the large standing stones that guard the entrance to the neolithic West Kennett long barrow in Wiltshire. The fabric used for the stones is entirely hand loomed from Maheshwar, in India.
