To Fringe:

• something regarded as peripheral, secondary or extreme in relation to something else
• an outer edge; margin; periphery
• a decorative border or thread

The possibilities of these with stained glass fragments!

There is something about the position of the material in the structure. A structure that should be protecting but it isn’t, whether the material it is hidden or in clear sight.

There is a predictability about the structure or fringes that hug the material closely, the question is whether these fringes were better without the material, only fighting with the surround space/negative space.

I have been exploring the issues of containment with these pieces, continuing on from the solid boxes I have produced.
