Taking a Wire for a Walk

I got two rolls of wire, one red and one black. I decided to try and visually represent my movement from one space to another. I started my journey at my house with the red wire and walked to my grandparents which is nearby, every 3 steps I unraveled a piece of the wire, as I unraveled it I began to shape the wire creating a 3D form. It began to take a sphere like form as I shaped it (shape wasn't intentional). On the way back I repeated the process only this time using the black wire, I added to the red wire continuing to create this 3D form of my movement. The wire itself represents the journey, movement and the traces left behind on my walk. The way the wires tangle and intertwine to me represent crossing paths, and overlapping on areas taken during each journey.
