Fun with Beads and Paper


So, here's the thing. The system of the beads themselves takes on a form which allows for more continuous formations and systems of shape and function. Unconscious...no, but unintentional is more likely. If you look at the beads as a metaphor, or as a means to something else, they work as a system we create for yourselves and our intellectual intentions. Whether the beads (or paper) serve another purpose or form is what can be interpreted with intent.


This is why people may create something with a specific intent for its use, yet someone may use the object in a totally unintended manner according to its creator. This is where the methphor comes into play. The beads represent an infinite amount of possibility, yet perception may be limited when it comes to the user. I may have a completely different experience than someone else with the same beads, because the possibilities are numerous and sometimes even effortless.
