In general, a fourth dimension is said to be ‘Time’. Normally, to say where an object is, its position in space is defined by 3 dimensions - its distance in X, Y, and Z axes from a given point. Further precision could be added by not only asking where the object is, but also when it was there. My house is where it is at the moment, but it was not there 1000 years ago.
This is fascinating, but is nothing to do with my tapestry work. In my 4D tapestries, I started by trying to invoke the collision, or passage, of objects in two different spatial systems. The idea was to have the objects occupying the same space, depicted in two different perspectives, and different light sources, with the shared space stitched in a different colour.
