Solar Patchwork is a large-scale quiltwork formulated through interstitching myriad portraits. Each panel is printed using cyanotype, a light-sensitive chemical which when developed produces deep blue-green hues, evoking the iridescence of solar panels. Within each ‘cell’ of the work is a picture of one of Repowering London’s co-operative volunteer directors. Together, these cells create an assemblage that attests to the latter's selfless communitarian efforts. The visual of disparate parts forming a unified whole renders the work a rallying flag for community energy. As more volunteers join the organisation, they will be appliquéd onto the quilt’s surface, creating a live artwork that grows in synchrony with the movement on the ground.
