THE THING WITH STRING

THE THING WITH STRING is a interactive sculptural installation, created for the Darebin Community and Kite Festival in 2010. 

The installation employs the material elements of kite making – rigid structural members, a triangulated frame, a membrane, and lots of string. The themes of the work explore the complex fabric of community, the home, innovative use of materials, creative re-use and recycling. The work integrates installation, performance and an activity for kids, that offers an accessible and affirming collaborative experience for festival goers.
