an explanation for all the netting.

one of the things i like the most about fabric is its relationship with the skin.
and
i feel netting allows me to explore this.

netting to me, represents a backdrop to build up a contemporary lace.
a vessel

allowing a build up of embellishment,
a contrast between the sheer and the opaque
the ease of the cut and the build
a geometric grid
mathematical in its application

I understand that other sheer materials can be used to create the same effect and that is something I need to explore further

but netting to me represents the invisible
embroidery upon skin.
