Virtually invisible fishing lines fill in the space of a house shape. The weights attached to the fishing lines float seven inches from the floor, forming a ground section in the air. There is a tension between the visible and the invisible, and lightness and weight. The space created by the fishing lines and weights is a psychological one: it implies a sense of presence, flow of time, and balance.
