Aesthetically, the juxtaposition emphasises the physical characteristics of the materials. The viewer can enjoy the simple beauty of buff ceramic fired to 1200C and its texture which is highlighted by the introduction of manganese dioxide into its crevices. The strong colours in the thread or fabric are brought out by the minimal colours on the ceramic pieces.

Philosophically, one can see the ceramic pieces as individuals and the fabric as society. Society supports and cushions the individual whilst also cutting into it. We benefit from the existence of society but then society imposes on our individuality and freedoms.

Underneath the indulgence in the physical characteristics of fabrics and ceramic lie the philosophical concerns of who and what we are.
