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 from seed, to soil, to dye, to craft

A hand-lathed circular oak pole, with a few delicate details, is hung in front of the window. It is attached with two wooden pegs, like found on the spinning wheel on the opposite side of the space. From this wooden pole hangs a white quilt top. It is made of parts of a linen tablecloth and has hand-knitted Shetland lace sewn amongst them. The top is folded over the wood and pinned with simple white sewing pins to keep the fabric in place. When the late afternoon and early evening sun shines, a strong light comes through the window. The window frames cast shadows across the two larger walls, the floor, and the lace inserts cast more delicate shadows too. If a hand is held up to the piece, a delicate pattern of holes will be shadowed upon the flesh.

This hap frame hangs on thin, orange rope from a hand-made, hand-lathed, oak pulley system. It is like a pulley you might find on boat rigging, or a Glaswegian, tenemental washing airer. A piece of knitted lace is stretched in the middle of the hap frame. Behind the frame is hung a lithography print of a 35mm 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.
