Inside A Historic Italian Villa, Ethereal Rainbows Made Of Thread
November 11, 2012
Artist Gabriel Dawe has unveiled his latest installation, Plexus no. 19, at the Villa Olmo in Como, Italy. Part of the MINIARTEXTIL Festival, the installation is on view until November 18th.

Criss-crossing the villa’s atrium with the hyperbolic curves characteristic of ruled surfaces, the installation sets up a strong contrast with its context, seeming at once ethereal and rigorously modern.
