antique as decoration no more



Thus far I've let the more modern fabric serve as the main structure of the work, with the antique doilies and laces taking the role of decoration. For this piece I wanted to do a little role reversal. The lace - an ivory tablecloth from my grandmother's house, is front and center while the contemporary textile is more of a base. This modern fabric has a metallic sheen to it, which shows through the openings in the lace - a really interesting touch.
