Sabine, I have put up a stitched portrait built against Klee’s partitioned garden. I kept two strips of cloth bare and left the face’s photographic join exposed; if you look, I would like to know which interruption you notice first and whether Mara still holds the center. When your first work appears, I would be glad to return the same close attention. I will ask before proposing any cut.
