Morris chose industrial felt because of its supple nature, because it would not involve any kind of construction, and because he was attracted by the neutral grey colour. It was supple enough to react to gravity, and yet firm enough to hold a shape.

The work can never be displayed the same way twice. Every time it is reinstalled the composition of tangled loops changes. This was intentional, as Morris wanted to make an indeterminate object with an indefinite set of formal possibilities. The work challenges the conventional notion that art is a final, frozen-in-time, end product.
