I am trying to write the catalog of the exhibit, Lace, not Lace. One of the artistâs, Penny Nickels, uses a ground that resembles a laid grid in an exciting way to create perspective. Would I be correct in saying this is a distinctive feature of 19th century needle laces? Would it be accurate to say it is distinctive to late 19th century needle laces? I see it in Point de Gaze. I think I have also seen it in Alencon, although I couldnât say from what date exactly. I generally have the sense that right angle, square type grounds belong to the 19th century, whereas previously hexagons were the major shape. Thoughts? Devon
