The photocopied image of gloves on silk is a striking image that is reminiscent of the Abstract Expressionism movement. This helps the work to be more contemporary as contributed by how the silk material ripples in the breeze.

Behind the hap frame in "they are containers of fluidity" is hung a lithography print of a 35mm film photograph. This makes up the performative gesture of the work titled “pegging down their lace”. The lithography print is made of four coloured layers (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) to create a full colour image. It retains the quality of the original film photograph. The white paper is pinned at the four corners with sewing pins into cork behind. The image itself is set amongst the mossy, loch edge in the Kilpatrick hills, just outside Glasgow. The blue ripples of loch Humphrey are just visible on the top edge of the image. Two young, white hands touch the knitting and steel knitting needles – pinning it out on the grass and moss. Small moss sporophytes peek through some holes in the lace. There is a gentle light settled across the photo and small shadows of the knitting needles are cast on the hand closest to the foreground.

Upon this quilt frame a naturally dyed quilt is stretched. You cannot see the full quilt as the top and bottom edges are rolled up on oak and cherry beams. Colours of reds, browns, pinks, yellows, white, and hints of blues dominate. The hand-quilting is partially completed with indigo-blue and coreopsis-yellow thread. These bind the three layers together – linen and cotton, wool, and linen again. The design of the quilt top contains the ‘bear claw’ quilt block, a block spelling out ‘TED’, and larger swathes of white linen. There are patches of embroidery throughout, overdyed, cut up, and sewn into the pattern.

In the right-hand corner sits a wooden chair. It is made of a variety of woods, carefully pieced together and oiled. It sits fairly low to the ground and has a wide, deep seat. The back is made in a lattice formation, and on the support beams below the seat a quilt is draped. The quilt is a scrap block that uses leftovers from all the other naturally dyed objects within the installation. The three layers have been sewn together and bound, and it now lies folded, almost touching the floor.
