Object Project (John Bartell)

Description:

One cannot truly say that there is a spool of string just like this one.   From a single throw and disruption of the string itself, the string is arranged in such a way that can never be recreated.  Every cut, knot, or tear in the string is done on individual braids.   “Was the original torn on braid number 495?” “Was that knot on braid 5,022 or 6,379?”  .  No matter how hard one might try, emulating its composition is a truly impossible task. 

Not Description:

The hardest part was the box itself.  I'm surprised it came out as well as it did.

I literally just took whatever I could get my hands on first when I remembered I had the choice due the next day and went with it.  Originally meant to be used for the casting project, I decided to use it.

I remembered some stuff from my old critical frameworks course - of several ideologies used to critique art, and then something one of my classmates said in passing: They're all bullshit.

So I went with some BS on the individuality on the strings of a small spool and how they can't be replicated.  One could also argue no one would care.
