ZIP

Rice Straw, Heavy Duty Conveyor Belt
2007 —

Process
The remains after the harvesting season in farms are large bundles of rice straw. It used to be my favorite playground. These rice straw are something very familiar to Koreans although you don't reside in farms.

I made a bundle and wrapped them with belts that are normally used to stabolize boxes or furniture etc (ex ; when moving out), cut the top off into a stool. I call this 'zip' because rice straws are called zip in Korean which also sounds like the English word 'zip' and the rice straws are literally zipped(compressed) into a bundle.
