A play on the word Darn. Both an expletive used to respond to a misfortune and the physical act of repairing fabric. I have taken a book with torn and missing pages, glued and repaired the pages, then drilled holes and darned the pages to "fix" it. Thinking about how we try to fix things with techniques or materials that are unsuitable and often make the situation worse. While also celebrating the beauty and simplicity of the repetitive stitches used in darning. The feel of the pages is a sensory experience.
