Colour Fold is a continuation of Al Munro's investigation into patterns, folds and the relationship of abstract painting to textile design. Through the inclusion of fold-like corrugations in the artwork's physical structure, Munro activates the viewerβs experience of the space and time of the painted surface. As the viewer moves around each work, areas of pattern are either revealed or hidden, allowing the experience of the pattern, colours and forms to change according to the viewerβs position.
