For Colin Lyon’s ARTS 333 Site Installation, our final project was to create an artwork to be displayed in the Spool Factory Contemporary Art Space in Binghamton. The space was bigger than anything Ive ever been allowed to use, and I felt compelled to make something at such a large size that it properly fills up the space in the room rather than being swallowed by the rooms size, something Colin warned us all about. I wanted to use string given its connection to the space as well as its relative cost effectiveness. Inspired by a doddle I would often make when I was younger of a star made entirely of straight lines whose intersections implied a parabolic curve, I sketched many different ways to create architectural forms within the space only using string. I did some research and came across a similar shape that resonated with me, and planned with Lou Fuchs to make a giant version that will stretch across the whole room.
