With the world of numbers and the 10 colors (derived from the Munsell color system) as a starting point, Annesas Appel (1978) creates new visual language. The specific shape of the numbers are the basic grid. It provides structure and gives the artist the freedom to build on; what happens if she overlaps them, what shapes and colors become visible? What landscape arises in the excisions of the image?
In LAYERED LANDSCAPE the numbers 0 to 9 are superimposed. Within this stack, the numbers 00 to 99 are highlighted. Each print is a different 2-digit number. Because every number has their own color, a new blend of colors is created in the overlapping areas. A cut-out of this overlap is woven horizontally or vertically over the print in embroidery thread.
