Textiles were an instrument for the viewer and prompted a specific action, such as lying on or leaning against them. According to Walthers, the textile objects he sewed became works of art when a person or a group of people did something with them, he stated. In this case a hand may be resting on the surface of the neatly sewn canvas.

Here Franz Erhard Walther’s hand is put on a copy of the edition.
