“Labyrinth”
Statement of Intent-
“Labyrinth,” a wall piece composed of dryer lint and wire, has an uneasy overtone to it. When people think of dryer lint they image softness. However, when they move in to touch the piece they see what looks to be barbed wire. Their reaction to touch the piece is soon squashed by the fear of being cut. This piece also represents an untraditional recording of history. In every strand of dryer lint there are representations of not only the person who wore the clothing being washed, but also of their daily activities. If the viewer were to look closely they can find the dog owner, the person with short hair, the person who entered a raffle, the person with the bad habit of leaving paper in their pockets and the compulsive person who separates their clothing by color.
