2 FEEL THE RAINBOW - An Amazing Thread Installation

How amazing is this installation that Gabriel Dawes created for Miniartextil, an annual contemporary art exhibition in Como, Italy? Known for his vibrant, three dimensional thread art, Dawes explores color by experimenting with natural light and space. I’m sure seeing his work in person is a hundred times as impressive as it is through images. Even so, it’s mesmerizing and utterly beautiful.

Dawe created Plexus no. 19, a stunning thread installation that's beautifully spread across two balconies in the atrium of a historic villa. The early 19th century neoclassic house, called Villa Olmo, was acquired in 1924 by the municipality of Como and is now open to the public only during cultural events and art exhibitions like this.
