Cloth Keeps Route

Routes become memory

Every turn in the border path marks river crossings, camps, and the names carried onward.

Cut edges tell truth

Folded fuchsia over indigo makes absence visible, like a map made by careful subtraction.

Pattern holds archive

Spider maze, mountain zigzag, and elephant-foot cross keep family history in plain geometry.

Story travels whole

Huts, aircraft, footpaths, and fields sit together so the journey is read in one glance.
