Dickens Screen series from 2013, draws upon many different references. The notion of the screen is intriguing as the partition can be used to conceal or obscure. It can be both a divider and a marker of space. The barrier can also be a decorative element, such as the traditional three panel screens found in Japan, or it can be projected upon, such as a cinema screen. The most significant references are a fusion of Dickens’ previous research into Japanese culture, specifically that of looking at kimonos and katagami stencils, and secondly that of traditional film technology, in particular acknowledging what Dickens feels to be a golden age of film: 'Glorious Technicolor', Todd-AO and Panavision."
