Lately I have been thinking of the tapestry weavings as Arrivals and Departures. Arrivals, as they depict a place you have landed, or the show is about to begin, or you approach a crossroads, destination or decision point.

The departures are items whose function is no longer useful that are consecrated in between warps. Captured and stored.
