slashings and trappings

working on resolving some "display issues"- trying to both hone and open up the narrative- to set a  stage but not tell any particular story.
this time, the chair will be shown facing the wall (on which will be mounted a mourning embroidery from the museum's collection). the wall is to be partially obscured by a slashed window sheer which will hang at a short distance from it - situated across the lap of the chair, the curtain is cut to ribbons - with longer, wider slits framing a vignette toward the center. the view through the curtain would be best accessed if one was to be seated in this (inaccessible) chair- the side views are obsolete because the curtain will hang across the opening to an inset in the gallery wall. .
the same curtain sheers were used to create the little bombs that carry the broken china set. 

i've incorporated some of the window sheer scraps into these weepers

Frank is suspicious of the aura.

working out the details..-
 the (cut to ribbons) window shear will be hung across the top of the opening of
an inset in the wall of the gallery.
the inset is approx. 4'wide x 1.5'deep-
so the curtain would be about a foot closer to the wall behind it
on which will be hung
a mourning embroidery from the museum's collection.
(got that?)
