When beginning this project Clara and I talked about the works that we like best from a presentation show in class. We both really enjoyed the ones that were installed in nature. With that in mind we decided that we wanted to do something outside and use a tree in some way. Once we found our sight we started by brainstorming what colors of yarn we wanted to use and landed on using colors that would stand out from nature. We wanted to create a sort of portal between two trees. After gathering materials we began by first making a wire loop and tying it between the two trees and after starting to wrap the yarn. As we worked we started to expand from just wrapping on the two tree trunks. 

After working on it the first day it wasn’t standing out enough so we decided that we would get more yarn, specifically neon colors. Our primary strategy was to wrap as much yarn as we could because it made it more visible from afar. After returning from the weekend we found that the wire loop had broken and a good amount of the yarn had fallen. We decided to hang the yarn that had fallen on the broken branch above. We also decided to add more of the little knots we started to add the week prior. We also added some more yarn in areas that felt empty because of the fallen yarn. The final thing that we did was wrap black yarn around the center air loop so it was extra secure and acted as a central point for the piece.

Overall I really enjoyed the process of working on this project and ultimately think that it breaking made it more visually interesting with the contrast of the tight and more droopy yarn.
