Maker's statement
Important. Other structures, numerical organisations were to follow. Some resulted in wall pieces - as in the Jesus Centre, B'ham.
But this piece was an early one - the 2nd floor pad (the first was a big one in the V&A "Craftsmans Ark" exhibition to be made, and the first one in which the colours were organized by numerical system. Later ones were structured (physically) more tightly.
