My conscious thoughts had been more about "attaching" in ways that added texture and visual interest and which reflected the man made structures in the photos - much less interesting thoughts! As you suggest, these ambiguities are great fun. <br />I'm playing again today with what you describe as "dynamic geometry" - another great description - and will probably post after the weekend if it seems to work well enough.Charlton Stitcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052815242463837033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995249205815458488.post-68645959335249800542016-03-18T12:05:00.938+00:002016-03-18T12:05:00.938+00:00Maybe it's as much about thinking in terms of ...Maybe it's as much about thinking in terms of "connection" (connector?) as "stitch" - ? Threads, staples - and even marks - are all connecting materials (and ideas) with the paper... It is interesting to try and figure out where things fall when it comes to definitions, and to see the overlapping & the ambiguities/questions that arise.<br />In any case - wonderful results...I love the dynamic geometry and the intricacy of the many elements!

In the same category as a bead or a French knot when used to attach something to the background. On the other hand, staples have replaced traditional surgical stitches in many cases, accomplishing the same task & looking much the same. How's that for not taking a side? ;-)The Idaho Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979439849662755082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995249205815458488.post-74368328036962090552016-03-14T22:49:36.296+00:002016-03-14T22:49:36.296+00:00I like you definition of stitch.

I think in a rather bumbling way, I was trying to provoke thought about what stitch is and to suggest unusual solutions were possible. <br />These experiments are most interesting to work through and I'm finding it all very exciting. In fact, I think I'm more excited by this than by anything stitch-related that I've done so far. I should thank you by the way for your staple suggestion a while back.Charlton Stitcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052815242463837033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995249205815458488.post-229716787103092232016-03-14T09:06:15.196+00:002016-03-14T09:06:15.196+00:00Well, it depends how you define stitch, such as in...Well, it depends how you define stitch, such as in <br />Stitch: a method of piercing two or more flat materials in order to pass through a fine means of holding them together - or somesuch.<br />Nowadays even being stitched after a surgical operation is done with staples. Does it matter if staples are conventional stitches or not? You are using paper, which is not after all conventional fabric. It all looks a rather exciting exercise to me.Olga Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10554469124546960971noreply@blogger.com
