Steel Pieces and String





This piece was inspired by the movement of my friends and their hula hoops.  The steel alone wasnt taking up enough space and looked like a weird coathanger so thus the string was added to build up a "body" so to say.  An architectural feel developed down the bottom, making it feel more stable.  The bike tire represents the spinning hula hoop around the persons neck.  I added the fabric to pick up wind so the tire would spin, but unfortunately it feels and looks too heavy so it was a mistake.
