WILL IT STRING?
Will it String is an experimental material practice centered on the question: what fibers hold together when twisted into cordage?
The practice treats waste and overlooked matter as potential structure, allowing the inherent qualities of each fiber to determine the outcome. Through repetition and experimentation, Will It String becomes a study in material behavior with focus on sustainability, craft, and renewing relationship with the physical.
