The First Tape Measure Piece

Untitled (Measuring Tape,Tape) was the first piece in which I used a tape measure. The piece is constructed using a roll of Kraft Tape and a Lufkin 50' cloth tape measure. The tape measure is wound continuously around and through the tape roll creating a spiral of numbers that repeat almost every turn.
