1970 Slovakian Magazine Clip from 'Politician, An Entertainer' - 'Big White Star'​ Translated Text is about the discovery of a Star in Neptune. The article leads on to the affect scientific discoveries have on the world, whether that leads to mass panic or excitement.​

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.

From right to left there is: A long and thin patchwork fabric piece in naturally dyed hues of purples and yellows; A wooden spinning wheel on the ground, found by the artist, and based upon traditional designs of Scottish flax spinning wheels; A small print of the artist spinning white wool at the wheel; Above this hangs a knitted lace handkerchief that almost blends ethereally into the wall; Five shelves scattered with books, flowers, small folded naturally dyed quilts, lace knitting, hand-spun wool skeins, scraps of fabric in jars, and hand-made zines; On the floor below stands a small stool with two zines and a book lying upon it, alongside a slightly ragged sewing box.
