The reverse side, shown on purpose

Two works hang away from the wall so the back can be walked around and seen.
In embroidery the reverse is usually hidden. Here two works are deliberately set half a metre off the wall, and the gallery left a passage behind them.
From that side you can see knots, thread transitions and the places where the artist changed colour. The curator says the reverse tells you about the order of the work in a way the front does not: it shows which corner she started from.
