I challenged myself to use a restricted colour palette – this is the result. As a young child, I 'commuted' at least three times a year from 1951 to 1958 between Karachi and London and the cloth reminded me of what I used to see from the air. To this day, flying over England still reminds me of those 'patchwork' fields.
