Anderson began working with wire in 2010 after she dismantled an alarm clock and found a copper bobbin embedded in its machinery.
That year she developed her own weaving technique using copper coloured wire, an eco-friendly material which symbolises copper representing the neuronal and technological connections of the internet debut.
Anderson puts forward the concept of memorisation (and not wrapping or enveloping) to describe the gesture of encircling an object with wire. As she begins to know the object, she memorises the relationship with it.
