As a textile lover with an art history background, I really love this whole series. Thank you very much for sharing the process. I hope there will be an update on the dye analysis!
I like that the newer material is visually distinct. It's not a pleasant experience to view a piece and think about the significance of a portion to the original creators, only to realize that that part may not even be original.
I picked the wrong career. I want to do this sort of thing. I'd live starving in a one-room apartment and be terribly happy if my job was to do work like this all day.
In this case I don't agree with the choice of a lighter coloured infill/backing for the missing parts. An infill/backing in about the same colour as the remaining parts would have given a better total view in my opinion. This wouldn't be a problem, as anyone looking carefully clearly could distinguish between the original parts and the infilled parts by the absence of details / uniform colour of the latter. The lighter colour of the infill/backing puts too much emphasis on wat parts are missing, instead of highlighting the parts that are still present...
THAT WAS SO INTERESTING TO SEE THE PROCEDURE FOR RESTORING AND SAVING HISTORY. A BEAUTIFUL PIECE TO PRESERVE. THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS WITH US.
Fantastic! More of these series, please. They're incredibly fascinating.

I was really nervous there for a moment. Even though it wasn't me doing the turning, I held my breath.

would have been cool if the textile was sandwiched in between two tempered, shatterproof, archival sheets of glass.
