In Magnetic Attraction a metal wire made from a common coat hanger supports "... a paper clip maintained in mid air at the end of a red thread
by the pull of a magnet, the movement is sureptitious; one sees activity of the
magnetic field with uncanny clarity, sensing its pull, the extent of its muscle,
and the transforming nature of its embrace." - Review by Thomas McEvilley, Artforum,
November-1984
a small, red magnet. Meeting, but not touching the magnet, is a paper clip, tied with a bit of string.
The little clip floats, held in the air by magnetic force.
