This is the final piece. Luckily I got most of it done before it started raining. I went out the next morning to see if the rain had affected it, and everything seemed to hold up pretty well. I didn't take it down before I left, so it will be up for another two weeks. Maybe by then the wind will change it some.

I like this idea... it is statement about the way suburban neighborhoods have turned out in that the people living right near eachother hardly interact. There are invisible barriers, but you made them visible. I think the fence here is interesting also because it isn't a continuous barrier. This way, things like gossip can still get through. My parents' neighborhood is this way...no one really knows much about the other except for gossip that seeps through the barriers we put up.
Its kind of like of a synthetic spider web... cool...
I like the metaphor of the web vs. the fence. It now reaches out to the neighbors in a humorous way. I also appreciate the explanation of your dogs' interaction and the photos are now very comprehensive - I especially love the one where the string disappears into the woods - this image brings up ideas of distance and time - as is earth art.
This is pretty cool! Reminds me of that poem by Robert Frost, The Mending Wall. How has it held up since you made it?
Pretty interesting! I like how in your description it started off as a fence, but it turned into a form of meditation. Sort of shows how art can be very therapeutic.
Its surprisingly held up pretty well. I'm a little sad because I wanted to see how much the weather could change it, but there are some yarn strands that aren't as structurally connected. I convinced my mom to let me leave it until after Christmas...its gonna be a huge pain to take it down...=)
