macrame

Description

Macrame is the modern ritual of calling a heap of cords art. The hundreds of knots serve as the wiring for the maker’s self-expression and craving for approval. Justified by the magic word ‘interior decor,’ it sits regally in a corner of the room. In reality, it’s just a dust-collecting tangle of strings, yet believers in its fantasy remain unshaken. Usage: She filled her living room with macrame and asked guests, ‘Don’t you understand art?’.
