Ada Lovelace ( detail)

This is a part of a piece I did about Ada Lovelace, the inventor of the first computer language.

This picture is the third in a series about women who achieved greatness despite the times in which they lived.

The circle represents the mathematical symbol for 0, or infinity, and is made up of stitched and burnt chiffon, with applied pieces of machine made lace, burnt with a soldering iron.

The background is nuno felt, attached to acrylic painted canvas
