“Space Bar” at Elegant Threads
The Elegant Threads exhibit, currently on display at the Lighthouse Gallery, in Tequesta, FL is VERY diverse. It’s a juries collection of 2D fiber art, 3D wearable garments, jewelry and accessories, as well as several invited pieces on loan.
The most interesting of these is Space Bar, by Nigerian artist Moffat Takadiwa.
As you can see, it fills most of one wall. It doesn’t lay flat, but has very interesting undulations.
What was it made of? Glad you asked: junk from a landfill.
Many of the components are computer keyboard keys. Thus the title of Space Bar.
The other primary material is the heads of old toothbrushes! VERY creative!
This exhibit runs through December 2nd, and it’s well worth a visit.
