Bartlett has created a complex story that touches on grief, obsession, madness, mirrored in the physical art of creation.
Sandra Fildes is a brittle, controlling, still-grieving widow whose chance encounter with the eccentric, generous Martha McKenzie grows into an odd friendship centered around Sandra's attempt to launch a multi-media display of knitted garments of the 19th century.
