What I was also looking at was the changing borders of eastern countries. I was interested in these as they had changed so many times over the past century that I felt that it underlined the idea that these borders, these lines have no real importance but at the same time I knew that they had every importance to the people living in these countries. I decided to do a wire piece which outlined all the europen countries I layered them over and over making the outlines of europe and the countries larger and larger so it had this kind of cobweb effect. when you look at the piece you can't make out which country is which, which then removes the importance of these borders.
