Holes in Lace

What is it about?

This article presents a play-script as a research artefact whose dialogue inquires into the holes found in Barbara Hepworth’s sculpture Epidauros II (1961a) through the author’s practice of chemical-lace making; two makers who consider holes in very different media. This dialogue continues with the development of a taxonomy, not of a universe of holes but rather of the microcosm of an individual hole. This taxonomy counterpoints the different objects of discourse which take form as four viewpoints: 1st Person - the hole’s maker; 2nd Person - the hole’s user; 3rd Person - the hole’s viewer; and, 4th Person - the ontological hole

Why is it important?

Together with threads and knots, holes are shown to be an essential element of lace
