Double-sided hanging piece on hinged arm. Small pockets in silk organza fabric containing one hand-made paper piece in each. Each paper piece is white on one side and embossed with text. On the other side (shown here) it is brightly coloured with acrylic. Each is dipped in wax round the edges, giving a translucence as it hangs and light shows through. It has to do with duality in life.
