 On July 7th , 1998 I received an e-mail from Imelda Kay, Design Director, at the National Museum of  Photography, Film and Television in Bradford, England. Imelda saw my web page that featured my fabric installations and asked me to design a fabric work for the Museum.

After receiving blue prints of the site, I realized there were an incredible amount of obstacles and restrictions that were evident in the archetectual plans, some of which were; numerous vents, (intakes and outputs), lights, emergency lights, smoke detectors, infraerd motion detectors and an emergency ventillation system that would remove smoke, in case of fire, with the fury of gale force winds.

 Cafe12h.jpg (26676 bytes) The only way to design around these restrictions was to recreate the museum in virtual reality.
