My project came about with a mindset of sustainability. {I use that word seriously, and resent the fact that it's thrown around so much without true meaning and intent.} I saved the full bolt of fabric cut into 6" x 25' strips that we used in our Marfa project, and began the project wanting to reuse that material. My iterations of this project over the last month had much to do with investigating how to make fabric structural. I constructed the triangular frames of bamboo, that I got for free from a guy getting rid of it from is yard. What I made was truly a result of the materials I had on hand.
I'm really happy to say that I'm keeping this wacky hammock, and will hang it on 2 new trees as soon as I can. I'm glad that it's useful beyond this project. And it's comfy!
Here's me chillin. I wasn't done installing my structure yet (look at those frayed edges!), but some visitors were nice enough to offer to shoot my picture!

I'll be posting an accompanying video soon...

Hi Dani,
ReplyDeleteYour hammock looks cool and I am glad that you have so much fun. How about in winter time are you going to heat in it? I am kidding.
We are looking forward to see you soon.
Love,
