The Space Between Light and Shade is Benjamin Shine's latest artwork that creates a portrait by pleating and pressing a single piece of tulle netting.
"Following an ongoing series of portraits which explore fabric
manipulation and construction ideas, Shines latest technique exploits
the translucent qualities of tulle fabric to generate various
gradients, tones and textures through the intricate pressing and
pleating of a single length of the material."

Just thinking about the process behind this portrait makes my head explode…. twice. What a brilliant piece!
The 3' x 4' portrait is currently being exhibited at the Courvoisier Future Gallery in West London.
