This piece features Psyche against a black wooden background. The shape of Psyche is composed of many tiny nails, with string wrapped around them. In this jumbled string, the two biggest craters stand out. They keep their signature circular shape. The asteroid has tints of orange and yellow at the bottom of it and on top, signifying metal. On top of the asteroid, also in string and nails, is the word PSYCHE in all caps and grey.

About the work: This piece is the Psyche asteroid pictured in string. It is another way for one to depict Psyche. After finishing the piece, I noticed that my piece, a jumbled mess of string, is similar to the jumbled mess of metal that makes up the Psyche asteroid.
