For my loom project, I wanted to create a loom that dealt with the idea of boundaries. I was really interested n the idea of natural barriers versus man made barriers and the idea of a barrier or boundary being camouflaged or not an obvious exposed feature. The question that arises from this exploration is whether natural barriers are more effective boundaries than man made boundaries.

I explored this issue by creating a loom across the entrance to my grandmothers house.  Her home is located in the country and is hidden from the main road by overhanging trees and bushes. I made a loom that stretched across the driveway to her property and camouflaged the entrance even more from the road by weaving branches and leaves into the loom from the existing surrounding forested area
