Losses
When a painting has a flaking of paint from the surface, that painting is described as having suffered a "loss". Can then we call any removal of the essence of something a loss as well? What does the loss do to the object? What do we do with the parts lost? In deconstructing homespun fabric, I created losses and in doing so, made something new. Loss, for me, is an essential part of my life's fabric.
