Plays off the photographic technique of zooming in, with each of the three layers enlarging the text until all that is visible is a single letter. The text on the bottom layer, excerpted from Anne Tyler's Celestial Navigation, describes an artist's feverish, obsessive search for scraps of exactly the shade of red. I wrote the text out in pencil, but then embroidered each appearance of "red" in red thread.
