Some distances cannot be closed without changing what lies on either side.
Created from Australian cowhide offcuts that would otherwise have been discarded, A Fragile Distance brings two separate forms into an uncertain relationship. They reach towards one another but never fully meet. The white space between them remains visible—representing the emotional distance that can exist even when a connection is still present.
Fine threads cross the gap without sealing it, holding the two sides together only loosely. The irregular tension, unfinished loops and suspended ends reflect the fragile nature of connection: sometimes strained, sometimes tangled, yet not entirely broken.
Every stitch hole was individually punched by hand using a leather chisel, then hand-stitched with Lin Cable linen thread. The loose threads have been intentionally left untrimmed, preserving the vulnerability and imperfection of the connection.
One-of-one original artwork.
Materials: Australian cowhide offcuts and Lin Cable linen thread
Dimensions: 50 × 50 cm, framed
