Birthing Tray - Fish

In this depiction of the birth of St.John the Baptist the blue lines of embroidery on the tablecloth evokes the sea depicted in the space beyond the doorway. The fish on the glass plate crosses between the spaces of the exterior world of the sea and the domesticated interior space, as if it had leapt from the ocean across a demarcated line.
