Would You Like Some Cake?
I consider the knitted wire as metaphor for how we are linked together, each stitch depending on the other for support. The collective stitches make a strong fabric. The interlinked lace areas and openings reflect the degrees of closeness or distance that we have with families and friends - estranged or not - maybe long lost or current. It is a support network, but one that is fraught with complications. Lace doilies; proudly brought out when guests come to visit, a welcoming mat or a beautifying agent, perhaps a cover up for when not all is right. When a doily is lifted and only a fine lace pattern in dust is left, will it be too late to make amends?
