A cross-stitch of a bookshelf with the books representing the high temperatures for the day

2021 Highs by Jeanette Kalchik uses Cross-Stitch to show a bookshelf with the highs for Fremont, CA (Temperature Data) for January-November 2021. The call number at the top of the bookshelf represents Physics — Meteorology. Climatology — Climatology and weather — Geographic divisions — United States — California — Fremont.

The piece uses color to represent the temperature, organization to separate the months (one shelf per month, in chronological order), and negative-space to make a point about the unfinished work of metadata.
