Ephemeral Artwork in Progress





Well, I started the construction. After picking up various sticks from a nearby park, I arranged several of the pieces into a staggered line of some sort and stringed them together with hemp and ivy growing near my house using a series of knots and interweaving techniques to hold the constructed piece together. I also introduced the assemblage to my pet rat Eleanor (the healthy rat) and she investigated it briefly; I was surprised she wasn't captivated by the unusual smells and textures of the web-like structure. Still, I think it is a noble start.
