Artwork Description
Sue Fuller pioneered the technique of embedding delicate threads within synthetic plastic in order to prevent them from sagging or losing their color. In String Composition #534 she wound colored threads around a circular piece of clear plastic to create an intricate design. This was then encased in a panel of clear plastic so that the threads appear to float within the transparent form.
