Cross and twist - that's how all bobbin lace is made», my bobbin lace teacher told me over 40 years ago. This came to my mind when I saw the advertisement for "Connection with Fabric". I micro-photographed the lace I had made back then, processing it in color so that the empty spaces became the pattern and the lace disappeared into the background. I am fascinated by the unexpected shapes I discovered between the threads of the lace, allowing me to transfer one textile medium into another.
