the gauzy check i used as lining and stabilizer has been allowed to remain on the outside edge of the forest here and there as evidence of the process. after sewing, i removed the threads in one direction creating a fringe that has a high contrast alternation of color. this high def contrast represents the meeting point (edge) of opposites, the transformation of one into another or the balance that allows clear vision. black and white are the ultimate combination but i have decided i can use any combo of colors to represent the different levels of this event. this center section with all its layers is defined now by its edge and its edge is now a path between.
