Locating- Taking the thread off the surface


I have started to experiment with the idea of taking the thread off the surface. Inspired by Christo and Jean Claude’s work involving wrapping, I have wrapped a variety of wires and wooden poles as a basis for the work. Although I like the effect on a small scale, I think that when put in the large open space of Geoffrey Manton it would become lost as it is too thin and delicate. 
 The wrapped wooden sticks are too straight and allow no flexibilty or movement.


By wrapping aluminium more flexibility is created, but still the wire is too thin for the building


I created a grid using pins to wrap thread around, but the pins were too delicate with the design being too structured and the thread easily became loose
