First thoughts - Paper experiments show four pages of white squares (10 x10 cms) on black paper where they have been hole punched, scissor cut, pierced with a dawl, scored, burnt with a soldering iron, torn, and screwed up. The fourth page shows machining paper, wetting and rubbing followed by two examples using a soldering iron on Lutrador.
Second thoughts - Paper shapes show a telegraph pole shape through a series of disintegration,
followed by coloured paper samples on white, where the first page shows the negative shape, the second page the equivalent positive shape
Third thoughts - Fabric shapes show different ways of disintegrating a square of fabric using muslin and a symmetrical equivalent cross
Fourth thoughts - Stitched shapes provide examples of using stitch with contrasting coloured fabrics:
Two examples using machine zig zag and running stitch were scanned to show different stages leading to a smaller cross;
Three examples show hand stitching using two-thread embroidery cotton and buttons;
One example shows reverse applique
