Earlier in his career, he used metal and elastic cords. Later he began using acrylic yarn. The yarn allowed him to create sculptures with what he called "pedestrian space." He was able to focus on creating works that were stretched in space to address their surroundings.
Sandback's sculptures distorted the spaces they were in. He would stretch lengths of yarn horizontally, vertically, or diagonally at different scales and in varied configurations to create the distorted effect. His sculptures would look like they were leaning or like they were impossible to create with any tension or tools.
The subtlety of Sandback's choice of material allows the spaces between the lines to become as visible as the lines themselves. Sandback said, "The line is a whole, an identity, for a particular place and time." (artist website). Read Less

What is abstract art?
Abstract art uses visual language of form, shape, line and color to achieve its desired effect. However, it does not attempt or seek to represent external reality but the created abstract art composition may exist with a level or degree of independence from the world's visual references.
