The soft strength of the delicate wire mesh enables spatial formability and forms the grid for the handstiched connections of the two outer fabrics. Each of the french knots embroidered on it has its own shape, its individual strength and direction. Yarn loops provide further support. The material-related transparency draws the eye to the back side. This perspective clearly shows the actual, intuitive way of the crafting. The wire makes it stable in form but still appears light and flowing. „blue-sky thinking" translates the state of wishful thinking and daydreaming without restrictions or constraints but still keeping a sense of groundedness.
