Gossamer web


Isn't this amazing? It was my favorite exhibit in the 'Cloth and Memory' exhibition. By a Japanese artist, it is made of individual rice grains threaded on cotton.

    This is unusual. It looks like an exhibition I saw (and showed on my blog) last year at MassMOCA, a contemporary art museum in the Berkshires, near Williamstown.
