Description: I became fascinated by the way a Möbius loop (a form which rejects binaries) can embody ‘desire lines’, marks left on the ground when one veers from the normative path, as a queer ecological phenomena. This non-orientable form is laborious to construct through wood:cutting, laminating, joining, sanding, embracing failure, and rerouting as the forms evolved, causing the Möbius to flip at a certain point. Gender, joinery, and ecology are combined in an incongruous way.
