Segment
A tangible line metaphor, Segment is composed of one hundred, 18-inch sections of twine, each tied to the other forming a circular stroke. In every work either the square knot or the length of twine is painted to contrast with its remaining section, articulating the difference between the knots and the twine. As a continuous line, Segment becomes a contour drawing composed of marks (knots) and lines (twine sections). Like other Dimensional Drawings, the accompanying schematic instructs the preparator as to the wall plan. In the case of Segment, there are five wooden hooks (points) to be installed into the wall. The first hook is placed 60” from the floor. The remaining four are placed 30” away from the initial hook in any direction chosen by the installer. This creates a different skeletal configuration with each installation. The placement or drawing of the one hundred fifty feet of painted twine is reliant on the installer, who similar to a jazz musician, is encouraged to interpret the arrangements of previous installations. This process results is a unique variation of Segment each time it is installed.
