String art fascinated me as a child. Creating circles out of straight lines of thread seemed so delightfully oxymoronic that I would mesmerize myself for hours doing it over and over again. Since the only string art projects I did came from kits bought at the local hobby store, there wasn’t a lot of creativity embedded into my “art.” Like most people, I confined myself to following instructions, and never considered constructing my own designs.
In the last week, however, I’ve found articles about three different artists who would scoff at my string art portfolio.
Now I realize just how unimaginative I’ve been all of these years.
If I was really creative, I would have made a wall-sized owl with big lips using fluorescent string.
Another missed opportunity for fame and fortune.
