Great Friends is a collection of colourful oversized friendship bracelets produced using the same techniques as typical bracelets, but with much larger details. The increased size allows for easier visibility and appreciation of the details that create these familiar objects. These friendship bracelets bring fun patterns and vibrant colours into interior spaces, and play on the nostalgia of making and exchanging bracelets with friends. The material used is nylon rope in a variety of bright colours and in lengths that are many times longer than a typical friendship bracelet. These bracelets can be displayed in a variety of ways, including linear, folded, or looped and tied with a knot.
This piece was exhibited as as an exhibition in the coffee shop Cafe Pastel during the 2024 DesignTO Festival.
