“I have been told that the most beautiful sound in the world is a taut piece of cloth stretched on an embroidery frame with a linen thread being pulled through and you get that kind of ‘chch’. The sound is just beautiful” Lesley Millar, Textile Routes. Norske tekstilkunstnere Norwegian Textile Artists. January 30, 2008. Does the quality and story of the cloth affect the quality of this sound? What happens if the cloth stretched on that embroidery frame comes with a tangible history of heat, the accumulated stresses of another person? Can we get past the residue of discomfort and find beauty again, allow what has been cast aside, as no longer acceptable, to carry on; perform another function, have another story added to the continuum, evolve into another form?
