Description

The geometry of thread is compelling  in both fact and metaphor.  Sewn or embroidered thread is analogous to a line connecting two points in geometry. No matter how the eye sees a composition, each stitch is a straight line.  From these straight lines many things can be built, including Platonic Solids. Interestingly enough, if you take a Platonic solid and connect the centers of adjacent faces with line segments, those segments will be the edges of another Platonic solid. This relationship is known as duality.  It is kind of a sibling relationship, full of potential and tensions.  In this composition the dualities begin to blend, like a good friendship or a family without rivalry.
