Starting with twenty feet of cotton twine, I tie the string around a thin tree trunk deep inside an abandoned wooded environment. I hold the other end, and span North, South, East and West until I've reached my allowance. Then, continuing, I pivot to my right and pace clockwise from the original tree trunk until I've reached another within the area of the circle. With much left to the radius, I wind the rest of the 20 feet of twine around this other tree, making note of it's width in simple terms. Measuring the winding in the form of degrees, like when measuring angles, I document and continue to the next mode of direction.

Just as a film is made up of many pictures, a textile is made from many threads. I used a singular thread, hemp cord, and meditatively knitted this into fiber, focusing mostly on the process between material and art-maker. I rolled and knitted the end result, with intent to both neglect the visuals of the product, and to mildly obfuscate just how long the process lasted.
