Metaphysical Body II

Installation photograph of a three-dimensional textile in shades of cream and orange. The work hangs from the ceiling of a gallery by thin filaments that create the work's shape in space. It floats in the air as a snaking line from which woven tendrils droop, cream in its upper portion and orange in those that hang down.
