can a string of beads have a discrete shape? the nature of manufacture dictates that in order to produce thousands of mardi gras beads, there must be some formula to make them. how does this formula reflect into the recontextualized (i use that word a lot) bead formations? is anything retained once ten beads are stuffed into a bag and sold for 1.99?
geometrically, a string of beads can only take 2 forms: broken or unbroken. regardless of the folds, it still retains its original shape. yet the definition of the bead string is entirely dependent on the environment around it. as with any product, a bead is defined by its USE.
