woven disused cables

Royal College of Art
This work recognises within it the innately human need to create order from chaos.
Ether Nets is a growing collection of cables woven using accessible techniques such as those by which children make friendship bracelets.This collection of works is also a cheeky nod to the most immediate example of small scale entropy—no matter how well one’s cables are organised they tend toward a tangled disorder.
When woven together, the structural tension of the cables strengthens the integrity of the weave but also magnifies the curves and bends forced by the direction of the knots. This allows each piece to organically emerge into a new form, reminiscent of primordial organic matter.
Ether Nets was conceived as part of LOCUS SOLUS (2024), Christova's MA graduate project at the Royal College of Art. This piece has been presented in a variety of configurations in London-based exhibitions, and most recently featured in LOCUS SOLUS 2.0 (2025), presented at Buna Vol.3: Discovery and Otherness in the Age of 5.0.
