Loving this room-size installation by Japanese artist Akiko Ikeuchi:
"Beginning with intricate plans resembling architectural diagrams, Ikeuchi first lays a foundation structure using cotton thread. Next, a second layer using fine silk thread is slowly knotted into a mesh, a process that spans nearly a month for an installation such as the one depicted."
It makes me think of netting which I've been very drawn to these last couple of years for some reason.
How she keeps the threads untangled is a mystery to me..
