A late-19th century Japanese indigo-dyed domestic cloth arriving with original repairs and heavy wear. Three new interventions that refuse a shared language: deconstructed shirt collars laid as structural foreign bodies, bar tacks made at stress points, a floating embroidery line that moves across the surface without connecting to either - none of which belong to this cloth and make no attempt to. A language of patch and stitch from different eras and different hands, held together without conclusion.
