there is some truly beautiful stitchery happening here, you give us glimpses but they're enough. I can imagine the rest....

oh that first image. great edge. love what it reveals as it dips down. don't know anne truitt.
ReplyDeleteanne truitt was a minimalist - probably best known for her sculpture working mostly strongly in the 60s. definitely a woman in a mans world if you think of the time. her writing is very strong.
Deleteoh this is so good to see your thoughts and stitching at the edge... am exploring the liminal space where the waves meets the sand this morning with stitch, knots, rotted silk and wrapping palm inflorescence ... it's a wild place where anything can happen
ReplyDeleteyes, think sometimes the edge is forgotten but without it - all would scatter. wrapping stitch is soothing.
DeleteMmm.. good to be here in your article or post, whatever, I think I should also work hard for my own website like I see some good and updated working in your site. grey melange
