A word from Diane

"I love the inventive, teeming and joyful graphics of this scarf, which pays tribute to imagination in motion. Its warm colours and swirling style make it a lively, expressive piece, full of energy. Superb."

"I looked for an inventive graphic style to convey the idea of progress, movement, research, potential. None of the vignettes is finished, deliberately. These scenes move in a world of gears that symbolise the path of thought."

— Christine Henry
