Non-Constricted Form

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.  This one is ambiguous, careening across two and three dimensional.  See if you can make it settle down in space!
