The cable tow

The word tow signifies, properly, a line wherewith to draw. In its first inception, the cable tow seems to have been used only as a physical means of controlling the candidate, and such an interpretation is still given in the Entered Apprentice’s Degree. But in the Second and Third Degrees a more modern symbolism has been introduced, and the cable tow is in these grades supposed to symbolize the covenant by which all Freemasons are tied. In 2017, Atelier Spincemaille premiered the work 'Rope' (a rope made disproportialy large to loose its function) at the Fabbrica Europa festival. Dear Reader, a graphic design studio based in Brussels, designed this poster for it.
