A hand spun 4 strand double cable rope stretched out to form a nine foot long tightrope. Crafting the work utilizing spinning techniques, a profession singled out for women and used as an insult towards women, to this day as the lonely spinster, I utilize my own protein fiber rather than plants or nonhuman animals to create this rope. I am fascinated by how deeply rooted ideas of purity and beauty lock women within superficial bounds. Forcing a perpetual high-wire act between preference and standard made up of mysterious contradictions. Not allowing one to stray from their “path” as Woman.
