"A piece that has lived many lives! This originally was hanging from the ceiling and you could put your arm right through the object and hug it. Eventually it draped from the wall and finally found its resting place as a drooping shape that feels similar to when you pile too many coats onto a coat rack and they take on a life of their own."
