Huge Fiber Installation in St. Pete

ByEllen Lindner

My final post about all the great art we saw in St. Petersburg, FL. My photos won’t BEGIN to do this one justice!

St. Pete has an outdoor fiber installation by sculptor Janet Echelman. It’s called Bending Arc and it’s made up of huge shapes of knotted twine.

The photo above shows about half of it. It’s suspended well about the ground and lit with lights of changing colors. As the breeze catches it, the whole thing slowly shifts. It’s mesmerizing!

Alas, my video didn’t turn out, but you can see two on this page.

Then BE SURE TO GO TO ECHELMAN’S WEBSITE, to get your mind blown!

I just love discovering things like this! What great art have you seen lately?

All these little pieces were eventually glued to the muslin base and…

  • A New Dying Process

    ByEllen Lindner

    I’ve recently changed my dying process and I’m really liking it! The impetus was the book, Colour Your Palette, by Leah Higgins. She mixes her print paste thinner than I’ve been doing and is, therefore, able to dispense her dyes from squirt bottles. I decided to give it a try, and boy do I like…
