String Theory, 2012

STRING THEORY WAS AN ATTEMPT ON MY PART TO BRING THE TWO-DIMENSIONAL LINES I HAD TRACED IN ROUTES (2012) IN TO THE THREE-DIMENSIONAL. HOWEVER, THE FOCUS HAD SHIFTED FROM THE ROUTES I WAS TAKING TO THE DISTANCE I TRAVELLED. OUR MOVEMENT THROUGH SPACE LEAVES A LINE OR TRAIL, ALBEIT AN INVISIBLE ONE. ROUTES HAD BEEN ONE WAY OF TRACING THIS LINE; STRING THEORY BECAME ANOTHER. TWINE IS NATURALLY LINEAR - BEING MADE OF PLANT FIBRES - AND WAS THE PERFECT MATERIAL TO CREATE A PHYSICAL REPRESENTATION OF A JOURNEY.
