New Installation....will it snap?!

 Started a new installation in studio. Wanted to get more of a stretch with the material than in the sculpture pieces. I attached heavy wire to tables and pipes and then tied it tight so that i could stretch the tights from it as much as possible. I want it to look as if it could snap any minute, Im interested in how fragile movement can be, how delicate the movements between our brain and our body are. How the movement of chemicals in our brain control the movments in our body. Things like our mental health and also our physical health, how it is all interlinked and how movement in both could be effected in one second and change everything. Movements we take for granted. I stretched the wire through the space at different angles so that the tights would create different forms as they were stretched through the space and as they interacted with each other. Hope that wasnt too much rambling!!
 
Getting different tones in the shadows as they over lap and in the material-more transparent where it is stretched alot. 
 Goes from transparent to more opaque especially when the material overlaps-like how thats working...

Also wanted to make the scale bigger so if you take them out of context they could be huge-architectural. Bit similar to tensile structures in Architectre.
