When the project called for a “string project” I immediately thought of the string art that stands in the Renwick Gallery location in Washington, D.C. I liked how the colors of the rainbow just bleed together seemlessly.

I tried to emulate that style within my project, but with little tweaks to the location of the lines themselves.
