how the light changes everything

'Grace does(n't) do White' lain on table, opaque

hanging in window, transparant

 as the white part of the piece is woven there are many 'holes' some of which have been patched with odd bits that were lying about; the small square above was sewn on on the 'front', the half circle on the bottom was sewn on on the 'back' over a hole in the black fabric; I sewed on the back so the stitches which are seen on the 'front' are less controlled, what I mean is I can steer the needle on the side I'm working on, less so on the side I don't see; I want the kind of randomness of the unseen-as-I-work stitches:

'front'

'back'

blue speck sewn on on the 'back' 

blue speck seen from 'back

light square sewn on on the 'front' over a tear in coloured fabric

the piece can hang horizontally and vertically

as explained in a previous post, the colourful half of this piece started whilst I was thinking of Grace and so in my mind named 'Grace'; she herself said in the What If class she didn't do white, but as my desk is full of bits and bobs and unfinished stuff, the strangest marriages do occur; seeing these two pieces next to each other I thought: why not unite them? Therefore, occasionally Grace does do White
