The idea of a puncture, as deflating, imploding, as something that undermines the structure by a collapse, is faulty. The puncture supports, it first releases a flow, by creating a gap, that then gets filled by thread, creating a filling, an upholding of the hollowed space. It is creating a real time tracing, not a map, but actions, situated. Situated on my body, following the meridians, my energy rivers. Sometimes the thread gathers, creating a bundle, a pressure point, a potential blockage, a point of attention of possible care. By tactical puncturing and pressuring, feeling its location, feeling it push into your body, you can make the river flow again.
The text is a manifesto of sorts that meditates on the act of embroidering. It conceptualises the thread’s journey through the woven fabric, and uncovers its spatiality through movement.
