String Mural #1
This mural was composed of two parallel lines of 40 nails each, “points”, on the top and bottom of the rectangle. I then connected every nail to every other nail with monofilament, creating a dense pattern. The rectangle was painted black to create some contrast, allowing you to see the lines. This piece was originally a drawing. The drawing was a robust network where everything is in direct connection with everything else. While the drawing illustrates this phenomenon, the mural demonstrates it. As you walked by the piece the patterns of light reflecting off of the strings adjusted to your movement. This piece brought my work into three dimensions and led to many more investigations.
