Art piece concept.

Sheepshank redemption! Maybe only algebraic topoligists will find this humorous..
I kind of want to do it all huge. The idea is it will be a series of sheepshank knots on the same piece of string, the first knot being kind of "correct", then they get more fucked up, and finally the last knot is close to "perfect". Is this a metaphor for life, or what? A series of fucked up situations in a continuous thread until it's close to perfect. Hmm...JUST LIKE FUCKING LIFE.
God my floor is dirty..
Also I want to do this with a GI-NORMOUS piece of rope. Throw in the whole working man angle, the struggle for survival, etc. I think I have something!


Oh, I also forget to mention that the sheepshank knot could be thought of as a metaphor for how most of us tend to compartmentalize our emotions about the past and try to isolate our perception of our pasts so we have a "clean view". Maybe it's just me, but when I remember the past, I have a tendency to only recall the better aspects. I isolate my negative feelings, but I still have a linear narrative that I think I recall. Thus the idea of shortening knot as metaphor for emotional compartmentalization. Thanks a lot, Andy Goldsworthy. I know you're mixed up in this somehow.
