080905_CoLab: R&Sie + THEVERYMANY (003)


LOOPHOLE (Cieszyn, Poland - Cesky Tesin,Czech / 2008)
Collaboration with Francois Roche, principal of R&Sie

Further away from weaving - it had its own flavor as well: the "clips" build up was looked at as an assembly of single ring type with standard pipes (of custom length); a ring-pipe steel interface would have still needed to be developed in order to allow the rings to follow the direction of the weave for perfect snapping...
