A closer look ...

... at my porcelain-dipped, heat-set-pleated textiles, using a macro setting in not very good light. 

I was looking for shadows -

 but found the delicacy of the textile's frayed edges -

 strange shapes -

 contradictions -

and amazingly-preserved texture, for example this net -

I've signed up for a ceramics class in the new year, but before I make more of these, I need to figure out what they're "about".
