Their blue and green hues complement the color of red bricks, and their variation echoes that found in brickwork of older buildings.

The surface of the sheeting has an other-worldly glow, and appears to dissolve into endless space.

These 3 pieces work together to amplify each other’s effects and create a warm, inviting wall piece from what should be a cold, sterile material.
